Going out with a baby in Paris can feel complicated: transport, routines, breastfeeding, fatigue…
Yet with the right places and a bit of organisation, it is absolutely possible to enjoy the city with a newborn.
Comedian, writer and actress, Rosa Bursztein became a mother in October 2025 with the birth of Stella.
Before Stella was born, a period already in motion, full of changes and new landmarks gradually taking shape.
Since then, life has become more intense: postpartum, breastfeeding, renovation work on their new apartment with her partner Mickaël, writing her first book La Peur au ventre… and already returning to the stage with a new show.
A fast-paced life for a Rosa more in motion than ever.
Between Paris 11th, Bagnolet and Les Lilas, Rosa Bursztein is shaping her new daily life. Between stage life, postpartum and family moments with Stella, she shares her safe spots: simple, accessible places where going out with a baby stays easy.
Babywearing, cafés, parks… all these landmarks help continue enjoying the city, even with a little one.

Babywearing in the city: the easiest way to get around Paris
Metro, stairs, narrow sidewalks… going out with a baby in Paris often requires adaptation.
Babywearing then becomes a real everyday ally.
At Rosa’s, everyone takes part: her partner Mickaël, her mother… each in their own way.
Stella moves from arms to arms, always close to someone, in a very simple and natural continuity.
Carrying your baby allows you to:
move freely around the city
simplify transportation
respect the baby’s rhythm
maintain that essential physical bond during postpartum
In a city like Paris, babywearing truly transforms outings with a newborn.
In short
Going out with a baby in Paris is not about perfect organisation.
It’s about finding:
the right places
the right rhythm
and the right essentials
To continue living the city, differently.
