A new playground for Amiens

Installed at the heart of the city center, the outdoor playground of Square Jules Bocquet has just been inaugurated.  Inspired by the world of Jules Verne, this playground displays an original design, a bit futuristic and faithful to the original novel. Thanks to its expertise, QUALI-Cité® has been able to offer play equipment for collective use, both playful and educational, that are largely inspired by the books of Jules Verne, which are full of science and technology, but also of a large dose of imagination.
