To discover History differently, our guides invite you to touch, feel and play with the elements of our heritage with sensory tours.
Sensory visits: follow us with your eyes closed!
Using mirrors, discover the nooks and crannies of our monuments, blindfolded, feel the air on your face and the texture of the slabs under your feet, and, magnifying glasses in hand, admire the smallest marks of the past engraved on the stones!
Let your imagination run wild, become an artist to discover the little stories and great secrets of our sites.
Visits for all those who don't like history but who want to learn while having fun!
Original and exciting concept which allows you to be involved in the visit to an exceptional place.

It was the first time we had done this type of visit, it was original! For the children, it was great. Games exercise our imagination and our sense of observation.
