Awaken your inner prehistoric man! On the Préhisto'site program: exhibitions, events, nocturne, "Préhisto investigations" treasure hunt. A 2-hectare open-air trail with signs on archaeological digs, Neolithic dwellings, megaliths, aromatic and medicinal plants. Take part in family visits, demonstrations and creative workshops: making fire, hunting, moving a menhir, making jewelry or pottery; and for children: drawing with charcoal, applying make-up with ochre... To be done! Very rewarding!

Les visiteurs ne font pas forcément l'effort de proposer une petite place assise, et de ce fait, ça devient fatiguant. Sinon,très bon souvenir surtout pour les garçons.
