French equivalent of a Junior ISA for investing

Posts: 21 Forumite
Our French niece has recently had her first child and I would like to set up something for the new born.
If this were in the UK, I would be looking at a low cost (probably Vanguard), global active tracker fund wrapped in a Junior ISA so that it could grow over the next 18+ years (and hopefully more) tax free.
Appreciate this is a UK forum, but has anyone done anything similar? Can you point me towards the correct French tax wrappers (Junior ISA equivalents) and any organisations that would help with the investment (from my initial searching, Vanguard isn't available in France).
Many thanks,

But with regard to stock market based investments for a child, I'm not sure that there is any French equivalent.

Thank you for the links. Coming to the same conclusion that there aren't any French equivalent wrappers :-(.xylophone said:https://www.britline.com/savings/livret-a#:~:text=It's the secure way to,their sole name, including children. may be worth a look.
