School groups
We offer school groups a guided tour on the theme of Prehistory. (from May to September) Children discover camps recreated from the life of prehistoric men: handling tools, shooting with a spear gun or archery, discovery of fishing equipment and lots of little games to play on the camps . An excavation module has also been reconstituted to try to understand how archaeologists work. The visit can be completed by an explanation of the excavation module, with an evocation of sedentarization and the organization of agriculture.
Duration of the visit: 1h30 or 2h. Levels: all cycles, from 6 years old. Access to the Museum of Prehistory and Gardens is included in the visit.
