Discovering a cabinet of curiosities

“So, are you ready to enter the cabinet of curiosities?” “Yehhhh” the children all answer in chorus, entering one of the rooms of the Château de la Roche. In this room, on the floor covered with rugs, weird and strange objects are on display. This is one of the activities offered this year by the Château de la Roche. “We saw a vampire hunter’s trunk, a mammoth tooth and a bat too!” exclaims Nathan, disguised as a wizard. For nearly an hour, the children listen to the stories of these objects, told by the actors. “Even we adults are discovering things” adds Katherine, who came with her daughter Noéline.
