<h2 class="page-subheading"><span style="color:#ff00ea;">Doudou Culture</span></h2>
Behavioural and psychological surveys agree that the doudou appears in the child’s environment between 4 and 6 months, only to disappear when they are around 6 years old. The doudou has been defined as a « transitional object » by Donald WINNICOTT, a brilliant English paediatrician and psychoanalyst. But we just have to look around us to realise that, if the doudou as a cuddly soft toy is logically less present in our adult lives, the doudou is nevertheless not completely absent. He just happens to take on other shapes!</div>
<h3 class="cms-block"><br /><span style="color:#e081d7;">What is a doudou?</span></h3>
<p class="cms-block">A reassuring object, a means to comfort us when we are scared or sad, a confidant, a charitable presence ... A mix of all these, probably. And if, when we are 20, 30, 50 years old or more, we find our chewed and gnawed childhood doudou at the bottom of<br />the cupboard (but never in the bin!), it is only because we have progressively replaced it, even without realising it.</p>

<p class="cms-block">Sometimes, we hear people saying that the only way for them to find comfort is to eat a chocolate bar. And what about those who cannot function without their phones, who cannot spend another minute without checking their mailboxes or their Facebook accounts just to see if their friends and family think about them daily? Here is a scenario: Your loved one goes away for a few days and to fill the void or absence, you choose to wear or hold one of his / her shirts filled with his / her smell, to bed. There are even some night lights for adults which diffuse comforting sounds and lights to help us sleep peacefully.<br />Chocolates, mobile phones, T-shirts ... these are adult doudous which remind us of the impact that this transitional object has on our minds and is so vital, one way or another. We are never too old to get a Doudou...</p>

<div class="cms-box">Founded in 1985 by Alain Joly, the GROUPE DOUDOU ET COMPAGNIE strengths relies on a traditional French savoir-faire (know-how), famous worldwide for its quality and its innovation. From a small family business, it has since become the world leader in the doudou and cuddly toys industry. The company employs 50 people on its historical site of Taverny, in the Paris region, and makes more than EUR 15 million yearly turnover. Leader in the doudou French market (more than 40% market share) and a major player of the cuddly toys market (22% market share), DOUDOU ET COMPAGNIE has sold more than 3 million childcare products and half of them were DOUDOUs, in more than 4,000 shops worldwide.</div>

The attachment to the product quality and safety and a respect for tradition are most probably the main ingredients of this amazing success story.
