In this colorful period for the park, the museum deals with witchcraft in all its forms! Young and old alike dress up in their finest sorcerer's apprentice disguises to venture out and enjoy the shows, tales and activities! Taste charcoal or pumpkin bread, or nettle soup cooked in a cauldron, for the joy of warming up by the fire!
It's always a great pleasure for young and old to come and share this chilling moment.
Numerous hands-on workshops are offered throughout the year, giving you the chance to try your hand at traditional techniques, to discover everyday objects that have become obsolete, to make traditional games

Not recommended for the faint of heart!

Alpine Bestiary
Parent-powered ecological ride-theater / Théâtre de la Toupine (74)
I come from up there, from the frontier between earth and sky, from the peaks where ibexes rub shoulders with eagles, from the place where mountains shape men and beasts alike.
