8 indispensables pour un été mémorable

Summer is finally upon us, bringing with it a sense of freedom, sunshine and discovery. It’s the long-awaited time to relax, recharge your batteries and create unforgettable memories. Here are 5 essentials that will transform your summer into a memorable experience.

1. A picnic kit

Picnicking is one of the favorite pastimes of families during the summer. On a blanket, surrounded by your loved ones, with a delicious home-cooked meal and a magnificent view of nature, enjoy a simple but memorable experience that is sure to strengthen family ties.

2. An inflatable swimming pool

There’s nothing better for cooling off and having fun on hot summer days than an inflatable pool. It’s time to splash around and for the youngest members of the family to have fun while creating fun memories.

Our tip: Swap the water for cushions for an impromptu movie night in the garden or fill the pool with sand to delight lovers of the famous sandpit.

3. An outdoor play area

Imagine yourself telling stories and anecdotes around the fire with your family on summer evenings. A fireplace will certainly create a warm and friendly atmosphere for moments of relaxation with the family. Don’t forget the marshmallows, the Smore’s and the blankets!

4. Hiking accessories

Family hikes are an incredibly rewarding experience, allowing you to discover new and exciting places and strengthen family ties. Set off to discover hidden trails and breathtaking landscapes with your loved ones, and you’ll surely have the chance to meet some of our four-legged friends in the forest.

5. Gardening tools

: It’s time to tend to your plants. What better way to do it than with the whole family? The children will love taking part in this educational and creative activity and the little ones with a sweet tooth won’t be able to wait to discreetly eat a freshly picked strawberry!

6. Manual activities

For rainy days or calm weather, plan some craft activities in advance. Coloring, crafts or painting, in addition to stimulating children’s creativity and imagination, you will have the opportunity to acquire new skills together and perhaps find new passions.

7. A camping kit

Not yet equipped for camping? It’s time! Immerse yourself in nature, relax under the stars and create beautiful memories. Prepare your equipment and set off on an adventure! You can also use it in your backyard for unforgettable family experiences!

8. An overhead projector

Imagine yourself watching an open-air movie with your family on a beautiful summer evening, under the stars. It’s a unique way to relax and spend quality time with your family. But beware, little foodies will surely ask for popcorn!
