Now you can\u2019t keep me and my kids away! Since we first discovered it back in 2014 the event has grown and grown, but it still retains its warm, welcoming, slightly bohemian atmosphere while attracting some incredible talent from around the world.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In this post, we outline everything you need to know about the Bonheur des M\u00f4mes including location, what\u2019s on, top tips and more\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-bonheur-des-momes\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What is Bonheur des Momes?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roughly translated as \u201chappiness of the little ones\u201d, this festival is definitely all about keeping kids happy. Every year the festival literally takes over the mountain village of Le Grand-Bornand and attracts thousands of visitors from across France, Europe and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Come along and you\u2019ll find everything from magic shows and street art, to pottery workshops, theatre and a huge music garden made out of recycled items such as bottles, pans and even wellies!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a week of so much fun, entertainment and action for children, all with a very unspoilt, traditional vibe that genuinely leaves you with a warm glow. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Teaser Festival Au Bonheur des M\u00f4mes - Le Grand-Bornand\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/moQ9SnNvtoU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-does-it-take-place\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>When does it take place?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonheur des Momes usually takes place at the end of August.

of it. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are special areas for very young children, such as soft play and lovely wooden toys, and the creche in Le Grand-Bornand also does some activities for babies, such as baby massage. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For older children,<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> there are numerous theatre shows and magicians, along with some fabulous workshops where they can learn about science, woodwork and more.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My kids loved spending hours at the free games in the centre of the village \u2013 there<span

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is almost too much to choose from. Unique artists from all over the world come to perform here and the whole town is taken over with performances, both indoors and out in the fresh air. One of our favourites last year was undoubtedly an incredible magic show featuring five different magicians. The performance was one of the best I\u2019ve ever seen and my son, then seven years old, absolutely loved it and didn\u2019t want it to end. He\u2019s already planning to go back this year.<\/span><br><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll also find puppet shows, dance spectacles, comedy, jugglers, mime and music \u2013 in fact anything you can think would entertain children is likely to be here!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-about-workshops\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What about workshops?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The workshops are fantastic. My kids have done everything from the Petit Fermier, where they fed goats and looked after chickens, to pottery, woodwork, mask making and a Sherlock Holmes investigation techniques workshop! As with the shows, you need to book in advance but it\u2019s definitely worth signing them up for a few of these.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<!-- Start SVG for Props Slider -->\n<svg

There are colourful marquees and tents erected around the town to host some of the activities, while others are performed outside in the streets or in the open air forum. Many of the village\u2019s buildings are also used, such as the school and the cinema, so you\u2019ll find entertainments everywhere you look!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-ovo-cta-button\">\n  <div class=\"wp-block-button\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/search?destination=2\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"wp-block-button__link\">BOOK ACCOMMODATION IN LE GRAND-BORNAND<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-you-need-to-speak-french\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Do you need to speak French?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t worry if you can\u2019t speak much French. I still can\u2019t speak that much, but love everything that\u2019s on offer and the amazing atmosphere. Some of the shows would definitely be better if you have some level of French, but others such as the magic and dance shows, and the workshops, are great in any language. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll also find that many of the people who work there or run the workshops speak some level of English so your child should get plenty out of the experience. It\u2019s also a great opportunity for you and your child to practice your French!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-busy-is-it\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>How busy is it?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The beauty of this festival is that while it can get busy at times there\u2019s always somewhere to escape to. Our tip would be to arrive early and use that time to do some of the free activities or sign up for other entertainments your children would like to do. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it all gets a bit too much in the heat of the day, head to the river in Le Grand-Bornand for a picnic and a quick paddle. Alternatively, there\u2019s a fabulous outdoor swimming pool right in the village centre \u2013 you\u2019ll walk past it a lot during the Festival \u2013 so take your swimming things and enjoy a couple of hours in the pool.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-i-get-there\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>How do I get there?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Le Grand-Bornand is just over an hour from Geneva Airport, so it\u2019s easy to get to. When you come to the Festival follow signs for the parking areas \u2013 again, I\u2019d recommend arriving early just to take the stress out of trying to park in time for the show you\u2019ve booked! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each year the Festival has become a little more organised, so you\u2019ll find people on hand to help and direct you to parking areas.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-31611 size-large\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"704\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/kids-bonheur-180612-04-EU-1024x704.jpg\" alt=\"A view of Le Chinaillon with fields and mountains in the backgrop\" class=\"wp-image-31611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/kids-bonheur-180612-04-EU-1024x704.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/kids-bonheur-180612-04-EU-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/kids-bonheur-180612-04-EU-768x528.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/kids-bonheur-180612-04-EU-1536x1056.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/kids-bonheur-180612-04-EU-150x103.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/kids-bonheur-180612-04-EU-250x172.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/kids-bonheur-180612-04-EU-350x241.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/kids-bonheur-180612-04-EU-1140x784.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/kids-bonheur-180612-04-EU.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo credit: Office de Tourism du Grand Bornand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-any-other-tips\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Any other tips?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plan your visit!
