With more than 3,000 games and toys suited to all ages, from toddlers to adults, the Nyon Région toy library (known as L'Interlude) offers a particularly extensive collection: board games, construction games, puzzles, outdoor games and giant games. It also lends electronic equipment, from mini-computers to video games and Tiptoi.
The principle is that of a games library: you borrow, you play, you bring it back, and the children's bedroom never overflows. Three annual membership options are available, from 30 to 90 francs, depending on whether game hire is charged separately or included.
On Chemin de Crève-Cœur, the library opens four days a week: Tuesdays and Fridays at the end of the day, Wednesday mornings and afternoons, and Saturdays from 10:00 to 13:00.
