Hear from our clients
Wereldhave chose Bleu & Associés as its Play & Relax partner in 2017. Together we developed a unique indoor play area concept that supports Wereldhave's strategy of full-service centres, and we have rolled it out across our international portfolio at 16 sites since we began working together. I think what sets Bleu apart from other play area suppliers in Europe is that it is a family-run company, and the dedication it brings to designing these play areas reflects that.
I called on Bleu & Associés to reimagine the play island at the Domaine d'Essendiéras. Delphine and her team came up with a design perfectly suited to the place: a castle for the children, echoing the Château du Domaine, and wooden structures that blend harmoniously into the landscape. The whole team was very responsive and available to deliver the project within the very tight deadlines we had set. I particularly appreciated the turnkey solution, from design to project and site management, through to delivery with all the documents certifying compliance. Highly recommended!
Working with Bleu & Associés on the eco-playful trail at Bord'eau Village was particularly smooth and constructive. From the start, the team listened closely, with constant dialogue and genuine co-construction of the project. Bleu & Associés very quickly grasped the specific challenges of the site and the area, including the discussions with the ABF (French heritage architects), and involved local stakeholders effectively. They also built our CSR commitment into the heart of the project, favouring local manufacturing of the structures and seeking innovative solutions suited to the site. Their responsiveness, adaptability and rigour let us move forward calmly at every stage. I also appreciated the quality of the relationship, the team's availability and their vision, both strategic and operational, from the advisory phase through to hands-on delivery on site. It is a collaboration built on trust, which I can recommend without reservation.
Thank you Bleu & Associés, what a joy to see our play area taken over by children! Listening, professionalism, adaptability, responsiveness, mutual trust 👌 what a great collaboration!
The slide continues to be a hit with our students and visitors alike. It surprises everyone who discovers it and remains a daily source of enjoyment. An essential part of our campus concept, it creates a unique experience and embodies our distinctive approach to campus life.

Bleu & Associés supported us through a genuine co-construction process to adapt our idea to the constraints of the site and develop the Climber prototype through to its final version. Their understanding of the challenges, their listening and their rigour turned an ambitious concept into a piece of equipment perfectly integrated into OPEN PARK.

The Bleu & Associés team was a great help throughout this large-scale project at the heart of Terminal 1 at Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport. Their professionalism, responsiveness and ability to adapt to the constraints of a demanding airport environment contributed greatly to the success of the operation. We particularly appreciated their involvement, their sense of service and the quality of their support at every stage of the project. An effective and constructive collaboration that we recommend without hesitation.
Delphine and Hussein supported me very well on the La Cosina project in the Blagnac shopping centre. The result is very satisfying and fully meets the expectations we expressed. Looking forward to working with Bleu & Associés again.

Understand how we design
The questions our clients and partners ask most — and what makes our approach different.
Why add a play area to an airport or train station?×
Waiting is stressful for families. A play area turns idle time into a calmer, more pleasant part of the passenger experience.
It also helps parents relax and spend more time in your commercial areas.
Do your play areas meet strict airport safety rules?×
Yes. Transport environments have very strict safety and operating requirements, and we design for them from the start.
Every project is EN 1176 compliant and independently verified, with the documentation your teams need.
How do you handle passenger flow and limited space?×
We study circulation, waiting zones and site constraints before drawing anything. The play area is placed and sized so it supports passenger flow instead of blocking it.
Compact, bespoke layouts make the most of the space available.
Can a play area improve commercial dwell time?×
Yes. Families who wait in a calm, well-equipped space are more likely to shop and eat before departure.
The result is a better service quality for passengers and a stronger performance of your retail and food areas.
How durable are the installations, and how much maintenance do they need?×
They are built for heavy daily use, with robust materials and low-maintenance details.
We plan cleaning and inspection with your operations team so the space stays safe and in good condition.
