"L'Arcade sages-femmes" was founded in 1994 by a group of independent midwives represented by an association. These professionals were seeking a more visible structure to develop activities of prevention and to make their services more accessible to the needs of women and couples.

"L'Arcade sages-femmes" is :

• A hotline
• A welcome center
• A place to exchange information for free and without registration
• A place of consultation (pregnancy, homeopathy )
• A place for courses for new and expecting mothers
• A central of independent midwives who offer home appointments for pre- and postnatal check-ups.
