L’association nationale compte 160 antennes en France, en Europe et au Congo.

One after the other, a few mothers, accompanied by their offspring or alone, settle down at a terrace in the city center of Sète. “Welcome, we are Joëlle and Alexandra”, indicate the two women already seated at the table. This lunch is the first meeting organized by the latter, volunteers within the brand new branch of the Sète Stroller Club.

The opportunity, between noon and two, to discuss motherhood and give each other advice. More generally, this is the objective pursued by this national association which fights against the isolation of postpartum mothers (whose children are between 0 and 3 years old) by offering free meetings. In total, 160 clubs exist in France, in about ten European countries and in Congo-Brazzaville.

Benevolence and respect

The idea of ​​creating a Sète branch last June came from these two mothers: Joëlle, who arrived in the spring and was already part of the club in Paris, and Alexandra, a member in Montpellier. “We want to organize walks, but also a lunch and a dinner per month. The goal is for moms to feel safe, to be able to unwind, and for it to be accessible to all budgets,” they explain.
