Questions about animations
  • What is the age recommended for carrying out the workshops ?
    • We have indicated the recommended age for each activity, but obviously everything depends on the agility and precocity of each child.

  • Is it possible to conduct the prehistoric workshops?


    • Most of the prehistoric workshops are distant from 3 to 5 minutes walking. 

    There is many paths through the park. The schedules take into account movements between 2 nearby activities. The 2 workshops furthest from each other are “pottery” and “fire” but you will not take more than 5 minutes by walking slowly with a young child.

  • What is the best way to organize your day ?


    • We advise you to plan your day by targeting the workshops you absolutely want to do and the time at which you prefer to visit the caves.
