A bubble of sensory relaxation
The cabin structure and enhanced acoustics of the Bulle Musicale® make it an ideal cocoon for relaxation.Subdued lighting, soft music and padded walls provide the ideal conditions for Snoezelen®-type sensory relaxation.Accessories such as cushions and objects with different textures can be installed.
Travel Musicaux®
The Bulle Musicale® pedagogy is based on a unique concept: Musical Journeys®.
Each Musical Journey® introduces children to a new country and its culture, or to a place such as the circus, or to a historical era or time of year such as the Middle Ages or the seasons. Our catalog currently includes over forty Musical Journeys®.
Un Voyage Musical® is an immersive experience that involves listening to 50 sounds associated with 50 images. The child listens to animal sounds, musical instruments, soundscapes, nursery rhymes, words spoken in the local language, and cultural elements such as typical songs and dances. All of this represents the chosen theme.
These associations between sound and image make it easier for young children to memorize words and assimilate vocabulary.
Programs games
La Bulle Musicale® offers educational play programs based on multi-sensoriality: sound discovery, sound lotto, vocal games, musical history, musical moment and sound ribambelle. These games help to generate strong social interactions, both between peers and between children and adults, and to develop language skills.

Safety: our priority
Safety is at the heart of the Bulle Musicale® design. CE certified, our equipment meets European Union health and safety requirements.
The interior of the Bulle Musicale® has been designed to provide comfort for all, and a reassuring sense of cocoon. A cushioned mat welcomes children on the floor. The lower walls are padded for freedom of movement.
All child-height surfaces are washable to ensure optimum hygiene conditions.
Technical specifications - Made in France
The Bulle Musicale® is a 5.70m² half-sphere (1.98m high and 2.70m in diameter) with 2 large openings for children’s free access.
The outer shell is made of food-safe ABS, an easy-to-maintain and easy-to-clean material commonly used to make Lego®.
The inner walls are lined with an acoustic coating for optimum sound insulation.
Acoustics and sound
The Musical Bubble® provides a high-quality sound environment for optimal sensory immersion for young children, and a certain level of isolation from the outside world.
Our cocoon was developed in collaboration with a sound engineer and an acoustician:
- The interior walls are fitted with a professional sound-absorbing lining, guaranteeing the same sound-absorbing effect as in recording studios.
- 4 high-performance loudspeakers inserted in the ceiling provide 360° sound and diffuse it in a “sound shower” that envelops children.
- The noise level can be adjusted by professionals, but remains limited to meet current standards.
Computer, touch and light equipment
Children interact with the equipment by touching capacitive sensors positioned in the cushioned walls of the Musical Bubble®.This is how they trigger the various sounds of the Musical Voyages®, which they then associate with the still images, taken from the real world, dispensed by the overhead digital photo reader.No video medium is used in the Musical Bubble®.Photos can also be downloaded from the online portal and printed to be placed in a leprechaun or laminated.An LED pathway diffuses a warm, friendly white light that can be modulated to suit the age of the children, the type of activity and the time of day.
Certification & patenting
The Bulle Musicale® is certified to CE safety standards. It has been patented in France and internationally since 2008. Its hull and sides are made in France, in the Loire Atlantique region.

This magical "igloo" has been installed in a crèche in Istres, in a priority district. The Bubble is a space for both children and professionals. It's a motivating tool that complements and enriches professional practices. The pedagogical support provided for the children is unquestionable, as the managers of the Terroulette crèche were able to testify in the Gazette des Communes in December 2020!

Early childhood coordinator for Isautier daycare centers - Reunion Island
Children at the Crèche du Château have recently discovered the Bulle Musicale®, where sounds, music and images are all part of the language. This cocooning space allows children to immerse themselves in a learning flow, to listen, to exchange, to daydream, to travel... The bubble, with its multiple proposals, creates a universe where they can freely explore the world at their own pace. And professionals who have received coaching can deploy and amplify all their skills.
