Lacking inspiration to organize a family outing? Ideas for the enjoyment of young and old! Here is our selection of creative workshops.
A dive into the Gallo-Roman era

Montans, located at the gates of Gaillac, was one of the largest ceramic production centers of the Roman Empire. During school holidays (except February), the Archéosite de Montans offers workshops to introduce your little ones to Gallo-Roman crafts. Budding little archaeologists are so proud of their creation that they love to take it with them. It must be said that making an oil lamp, imagining a fresco or even a piece of jewelry, inspired by antiquity, is rather original!
For a week in the spring, a historical reenactment immerses you in the ancient atmosphere, with battles between Gauls and Romans. The bravest among you can even take part on the weekend.
In the summer, extend the experience with a free guided tour: through a fun route, suitable for the whole family, the life of Gallic and Roman potters will no longer hold any secrets for you.
Chocolate lovers
We love it in all its forms, it's the guilty pleasure of most children, even when they're grown up: chocolate is life! At the Musée Art du Chocolat in Lisle-sur-Tarn, you can make chocolate figurines with a master chocolatier while discovering the magical world of cocoa. One accompanying person per child. And for the rest of the family, head to the museum to admire the chocolate sculptures and enjoy a guided tasting. Workshops are organized all year round.

An introduction to medieval crafts for the whole family

Because your little ones never miss an opportunity to imagine themselves as knights and princesses, take them to the Forteresse de Penne. It's a real time machine. During the summer, in the middle of these ruins perched on a rocky peak, children learn egg painting and create medieval illuminations like they did back then with natural pigments. Another option for the most focused among them: become the master of the pen by learning calligraphy on parchment. They're sure to write you pretty letters. Want to sculpt a gargoyle? Alban, the castle's stonemason, offers workshops suitable for both children and parents to learn how to handle a chisel and burin with finesse and dexterity. Finally, you can choose to take your time to learn to weave with Amandine who will happily share her passion for traditional dyeing techniques, especially pastel.
