Yupi

General Overview

Yupi is a French mobile application dedicated to centralizing outing ideas suitable for families with children aged 0 to 12 years. It allows users to quickly discover places (restaurants, activities, nature, games, culture) through practical filters such as age, budget, weather, or accessibility (stroller, transport, PMR) (source: homepage of yupi-app.fr) (yupi-app.fr).
The application is based on a collaborative model: users can enrich the database by adding addresses, reviews, and practical information (source: Features page) (yupi-app.fr).
Yupi was launched in Bordeaux in the summer of 2025 and is gradually expanding to other French cities (Lyon, Paris, Toulouse, Nice, Lille, Basque Country, Rennes, Vannes, Marseille) (source: homepage) (yupi-app.fr).

History and Origins

The idea of Yupi was born from a personal experience of Jeanne Benezra, frustrated by the difficulty of quickly finding a suitable outing for children during an afternoon with her cousin Salomé (source: About page) (yupi-app.fr).
She observed that the problem was not a lack of ideas, but the absence of clarity, trust, and filters adapted to the real-life of parents (source: About page) (yupi-app.fr).
Launched in the summer of 2025 in Bordeaux, Yupi has experienced natural growth driven by user families, who share and enrich the platform (source: About page) (yupi-app.fr).
Yupi's vision is based on three pillars: putting shared family moments at the center, simplifying parental daily life, and making society more welcoming for children (source: About page) (yupi-app.fr).

• Explorer parents: enjoy discovering new or original places, sensitive to aesthetics and experience. Use favorites, categories, and explore regularly.
• Budget-conscious parents: prefer free or low-cost activities, use budget filters, appreciate local selections and the newsletter.
