For Easter, the National Monuments Center invites both young and old to participate in treasure hunts across 53 castles, fortresses, archaeological sites, and gardens. On this occasion, children from 5 to 12 years old and their families can visit the monuments in a fun and original way while (re)discovering the Easter holiday.
On the program for Sunday, March 31, 2013: search for clues, solve riddles related to History, architecture, and the great figures who lived in these places. A reward awaits all participants: chocolate eggs!
