This year, the museum wanted to pay a little tribute to current sports news and is offering games of skill during spring break.
These games aren’t about high jump or swimming, but rather about demonstrating skill, agility, and speed as you try your hand at the traditional games our grandparents used to play.
Activities every day
To celebrate the return of spring, the museum team is offering free Olympic-themed games every day from Monday through Saturday, along with a variety of colorful activities.
Sunday Highlights
The three Sundays during this vacation will be highlights when children can enjoy a series of fun activities (treasure hunts in the houses or in the park, an Easter egg hunt, agility games, and more), along with a show or storytime. Be sure to bring your map—we hope to see many of you there to complete the challenges and take home a little souvenir from the day!
During themed sessions, volunteers from the organization “Le potager des mots” read picture books to the children. The children sit in a circle around the open book with great interest and pay close attention as they immerse themselves in the story being told to them.

I Planted anEgg
, Cie Au fil du Vent
One spring day, a friend of Fourmi’s gives her an egg—a chicken egg, round, soft, and fragile. She explains that Fourmi must write all her dreams and wishes for the coming year on it, and that by planting it in the ground, the egg will grow and her wishes will come true. Fourmi is a clown who believes in the magic of small things, and she plants the egg. A few weeks later, Fourmi meets a hen named Ariane, and this marks the beginning of a story of love, trust, and respect that will change their lives.
*I Planted an Egg* explores the cycles of life. Which came first, the egg or the hen? But is there even a beginning? And what would the end be? What if, in the end, there were neither a beginning nor an end, but rather a constant transformation? The fruit falls from the tree, rots in the soil, and decomposes. Seeds sprout into a new tree, which in turn will bear fruit… In this way, Fourmi weaves his philosophy from simple, everyday elements.
At 1:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. (45 minutes) • For families, ages 5 and up • Indoor performance limited to 80 seats

Smile, You’re in the Red!
Cie Les Boiteux’d’Prod
Smile, You’re in the Red! is a short, playful piece consisting of three variations on the terrible fate of the little girl with the pancake and the jar of butter. In the tragic vein of the first version, fragmented glove puppets revel in the fable’s cruelty and dance with death. In the second version, an object theater emerges where everything is the opposite: a large green shoe, an old man, a kind wolf, and a naughty little boy. In the final version, fantasy propels the performer and their little story into an amplified performance, complete with a microphone, a sample pedal, and a boa…
At 1:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. (30 minutes) • For families, ages 6 and up • Indoor performance limited to 80 seats

Le Ptiot Raipotot
The ACIDE GRENADE theater company and Thé Conteuse (Thérèse Grima) have joined forces to bring you a tale from the Morvan region, taking you back to the very beginning of the world to discover an etiological myth—
—about the origin of fire on Earth. Blending a creation myth with poetic storytelling, the tale of P’tiot Raipotot is particularly well-suited for young listeners. It teaches us that courage has nothing to do with size, and that collective strength is far more decisive than competition when it comes to bringing light to the world. As the storyteller’s voice guides you into the distance, the past, and the realm of the imagination, the illustrator’s brush traces the contours of a dreamlike landscape set to a dreamy musical atmosphere. Drawing on a rich oral, local, intangible, and poetic heritage, this tale was selected and adapted to create this immersive performance that awakens all the senses.
At 1:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. (30 minutes) • For families, ages 3 and up • Indoor performance limited to 80 seats
