EDUCATIONAL TOUR : THE “DISCOVERY TOUR”


The château de Colombières offers a special tour for school children aged 8 to 12.


A” Discovery Tour”

A “Discovery Tour” has been organized by the owners to encourage children’s respect for our common heritage, as well as their passion for history. Visiting the castle is an ideal day-out for schools and (day) holiday centres because its educational approach combines imagination and reality. The children will learn about French history and medieval architecture.
The “Discovery Tour” is designed to meet the children’s curiosity by stimulating their observation skills and their sense of wonder. Further information is available on request.
