With family and in costumes: Napoleonic district

Medieval quarter

Knights and ladies of the court

Dressed in medieval fashion in a knight or duchess costume, the children wander through the old quarter. Through its narrow streets and at the foot of its colorful half-timbered houses, discover the society and architecture of yesteryear. Continue your journey through time to meet the lords; the famous Rohan family, behind the construction of the Pontivy castle and many other buildings in the area. This fortress from the end of the Middle Ages opens its doors and welcomes you into its courtyard. The guide dressed in his tabar and armor will teach the children medieval dance and how to learn to use a shield. At the end of the visit, the medieval era will no longer have any secrets for your children!

Napoleonic district

Soldiers and empresses

Dressed in a soldier or empress costume, the children are immersed in the imperial era of the 19^e century. Trace the origins of this district through its airy and linear streets, exploring the French Revolution of 1789 and the 19^e century with the construction of canals and Napoléonville. The visit will end in the park of the Saint-Joseph imperial church where the guide, as an imperial soldier, will begin with the children an introduction to imperial dance inside the building and a discovery of the fencing of hussar in the park. The children will have discovered certain parts of the history of the 19th^e century after this costumed visit!
