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.
From your vision to the visitor's memory.

Understand how we design
The questions our clients and partners ask most — and what makes our approach different.
What's the difference between a bespoke playground and a catalogue-based one?×
A bespoke playground is designed from scratch for your site, your audience and your story. There are no standard modules and no pre-made configurations.
Catalogue equipment assembles existing products. Bespoke design builds site constraints, brand storytelling and visitor behaviour into the very first sketch, so the space belongs to its location and cannot be copied elsewhere.
What types of projects call for bespoke playground design?×
Bespoke design suits projects with a strong identity, complex site constraints or high symbolic value: flagship hotels and resorts, campsites, and sites that need architectural integration.
If the space needs to tell a story, bespoke is the right answer.
Does custom playground design still comply with EN 1176 safety standards?×
Yes — and that's one of its core strengths. At Bleu & Associés, EN 1176 safety standards are integrated from the very first design phase, not retrofitted at the end. Every structural and material decision is made with compliance in mind, and each project is independently verified before installation. Custom design doesn't mean unregulated — it means every safety solution is engineered specifically for the project.
How long does it take to design and build a bespoke playground?×
A bespoke project typically takes 4 to 12 months from first brief to installation, depending on complexity, site conditions and fabrication scope. It covers site analysis, concept design, technical engineering, fabrication and on-site assembly.
From day one, a single point of contact manages every phase against a clear, shared schedule.
Can bespoke design work within tight budgets or constrained sites?×
Often, this is where it delivers the most value. Bespoke is about precision, not excess.
A design engineered for your exact footprint and budget wastes nothing and uses every square metre well. Site constraints are part of our creative brief, not obstacles to it.
