Presentation

How about discovering a historic site in a different way? This immersive tour invites you to explore a site that is exceptionally open to the public through a sensory, creative and friendly walk.

Type of activity: Immersive and sensory guided tour
Duration: 2 hours
Meeting point and time: Échillais carpooling area (near the Super U) – 15 minutes before departure
Access to the site: Organised carpooling to limit the number of vehicles

What to bring:

weather-appropriate clothing, a water bottle, sun cream
It is advisable to cover your legs due to the tall grass and insects: walking shoes or boots are recommended.

Along the route, various sensory and creative workshops invite you to slow down and observe your surroundings in a new light. Touch natural materials, smell the scents of the landscape, listen to the sounds around you, contemplate details invisible at first glance… and even taste certain elements!

This fun and immersive interlude allows you to rediscover your childlike wonder and reconnect with your surroundings. To extend the experience, you’ll also create a unique souvenir, made with your own hands from natural materials. A precious memento of your visit to this place steeped in history.
