On the second level of Fnac, there's a space of around 40 m²: the Kids area offers several hundred items for 0-12 year-olds: books, board games, a selection of Lego® and Playmobil®, digital readers, touch-screen tablets... all without taking too much away from the book shelves. The store has been designed to adapt to the needs of families, without forgetting direct advice, which is no longer possible with online purchases. It's a pity that the aim is purely commercial, and that the Espace Kids has not been conceived as a collective and adapted space where children can also test, discover and have fun... without parents necessarily having to go to the checkout!
