    Antonin the Scatterbrain dreams of becoming a pupil of the great Leonardo de Vinci. But the tests the old genius makes him undergo (in arithmetic, poetry, drawing and music among other things) aren’t making life easy. He has to shine in all subjects, just like at school. Will the children be able to help him, and so accompany him to the secret study where the venerable artist is preparing his latest wonders?

  • Donkeyskin and the Prince

    Half-day workshop
    Participants: maximum of 30 pupils
    Level: Ages 5-8
    Times: 9.30am-12pm or 1.30pm-4pm

    Imagined as a sequel to Charles Perrault’s tale “Donkeyskin” – Jacques Demy’s 1970 film version of which used Chambord as a location – the story has the children befriended by a fairy and led into the château’s magical nooks and crannies. She involves them in trying to thwart the machinations of a witch who is bent on preventing Donkeyskin from marrying her Prince.
    By showing proof of their bravery and alertness as they wander the château’s passageways, will the children and the magic at their command be able to free the prince from the spells cast over him?

  • Once upon a time...
    …A fairytale that will whisk children off on a great adventure through an enchanted castle, peopled with strange stories and magical characters …

    The workshop is specially adapted to the needs and capacities of preschoolers and nursery schoolers.
