This year, the museum has decided to give a nod to current sporting events, and is offering games of skill during the spring vacations.
There will be no high jump or swimming, but rather a chance to show off your skill, agility and speed by trying your hand at the traditional games of our grandparents.
Daily entertainment
To celebrate the return of spring, the museum team offers you free access to Olympic games every day from Monday to Saturday, as well as a host of colorful activities.
Sunday highlights
The three Sundays of the vacation season will be a time for children to take part in a range of fun activities (treasure hunts in the houses or in the park, egg hunts, agility games, etc.), accompanied by a show or readings. Armed with your card, come one, come all to complete the tests and leave with a souvenir of the day!
During themed sessions, volunteers from the "Le potager des mots" association offer readings from children's books. With great interest, the children sit in a circle around the open book, paying close attention to the story being told.

J'ai plantanté un oeuf
CieAu fil du Vent
One spring day, Ant's friend gives him an egg. A round, soft, fragile hen's egg. She tells him to write on it all his dreams and wishes for the coming year, and that by planting it in the ground, the egg will grow and the wishes will come true. Ant is a clown who believes in the magic of little things, and she plants the egg. A few weeks later, Fourmi meets a hen, Ariane, and this is the beginning of a story of love, trust and respect that will change both their lives.
J'ai planté un oeuf questions the cycles of life. Who came first, the egg or the chicken? But in the end, is there a beginning? And what would be the end? And what if, in the end, there is no beginning and no end, but a permanent transformation? The fruit falls from the tree, rots in the earth and decomposes. Seeds grow back into a new tree, which in turn bears fruit... Ant weaves his philosophy from simple, everyday elements.
At 1:30 and 4:30 p.m. (45 minutes) - For families, ages 5 and up - Indoor show limited to 80 seats

Souriez, vous êtes dans le rouge!
CieLes Boiteux'd'Prod
Souriez, vous êtes dans le rouge! is a short, playful form made up of three variations on the terrible fate of the little girl with the cake and the tub of butter. In the tragic mode of the first version, fragmented girdle puppets revel in the cruelty of the fable, dancing with death. In the second version, a theater of objects emerges, where everything is the opposite: a big green shoe, an old man, a gentle wolf and a naughty little boy. In the final version, fantasy propels the performer and his story into an amplified performance, complete with microphone, sample pedal, boa...
At 1:30 pm and 4:30 pm (30 minutes) - For families, ages 6 and up - Indoor show limited to 80 seats

Le Ptiot Raipotot
The ACIDE GRENADE company and Thé Conteuse (Thérèse Grima) join forces around a tale from the Morvan region to take you back to the very beginning of the world, to discover an etiological myth recounting
the appearance of fire on Earth. The story of p'tiot Raipotot is a blend of origin tale and poetic tale, particularly suited to young ears. We learn that courage has nothing to do with size, and that collective strength is far more decisive than competition in shedding light on the World. While the storyteller's voice guides you into the distance, the past and the imaginary, the draughtswoman's brush traces the contours of a dream landscape in a dreamlike musical atmosphere. Drawing on a rich oral, local, intangible and poetic heritage, this tale has been chosen and adapted to create a complete show that awakens all the senses.
At 1:30 pm and 4:30 pm (duration 30 minutes) - For families, from age 3 - Indoor show limited to 80 seats
