The Ludothèque de Martigny offers families in the town and surrounding area games and toys on loan, a valuable address to know when it comes to keeping children busy, especially on grey Wednesdays and rainy weekends.
One stop at the toy library is enough to leave with everything needed to turn an afternoon stuck at home into a family tournament. And since games are returned after use, every visit is a chance to vary the fun rather than endlessly bringing out the same boxes.
News and practical information are published on www.ludomartigny.ch; a glance at the site before dropping in makes it easy to plan a family visit.

Ludothèque Les Galopins
Fully, 1926
With Les Galopins, families in Fully have a neighbourhood toy library dedicated to lending games and toys to young and old across the region. The appeal of such a place comes down to one simple idea: try a game before adopting it. A box spotted in a shop or recommended by friends can first be borrowed, tried out around the family table, then returned, and only the titles that genuinely win everyone over deserve a purchase afterwards. An economical way to vary games evenings, while letting children explore new worlds with every visit. The toy library is presented on the Fully municipal website, where you will find the practical details for planning a first family visit.
Ludothèque Les Wacouwas
Saxon, 1907
Between Martigny and Sion, on the Rhône plain, the village of Saxon has its very own toy library, Les Wacouwas, which provides games and toys on loan to families in the village and the surrounding area. Borrowing rather than buying: the formula noticeably lightens a family's games budget while multiplying discoveries. Boxes that have had their day go back on the shelf for other children, and every visit is a chance to leave with something different, quiet games or lively rounds, depending on the mood of the moment. Like other toy libraries in Valais, Les Wacouwas is listed on the Ludo Valais website, where you will find its practical information before a first visit.
Ludothèque/Bibliothèque de Bagnes
Le Châble, 1934
In Le Châble, the Bagnes toy library is part of the municipality's network of libraries and documentation centres: games and toys are lent out following the same logic as book lending, at the service of families in the Val de Bagnes. The principle has plenty to appeal to parents: rather than piling up boxes, you borrow, you play, you bring back, and the games available at home are refreshed with each visit without ever overflowing the cupboards. Children, for their part, enjoy a steady stream of new things to discover. Practical information is gathered on the bagnes.bibliovs.ch portal, alongside the other institutions in the municipal network, making it possible to combine, in a single trip, reading and games for the whole family.
