EXPERIENCE PREHISTORY!
Clothes made from animal skins, hunting animals that are now extinct... the life of our ancestors is very different from ours! There's no better way to immerse yourself in this world and imagine the daily life of our ancestors than going into action mode! During workshops at the Museum of Prehistory or at La Ferme aux Fossiles, experience prehistory, with your friends or your children! School groups and activity centres will enjoy a range of and educational visits, to be booked ahead all year round.
At the Museum of Prehistory, they can for example step into the shoes of an archaeologist during the archaeological imbroglio workshop or find out more about the animals that inhabited the surrounding area thanks to the engraving, Enok the aurochs!
