Throughout the year, the Chambord educational service addresses to teachers its proposals for animations and workshops having to do with the natural and architectural heritage. Discovery of the patrimonial wealth of the château and the surrounding park contributes to the artistic and cultural initiation of the young pupil. History, the natural and life sciences, mathematics, the visual arts and the physical sciences are among the many subjects taken up in the different visits proposed. In the heart of the forest or the rooms of the castle, pupils can explore the site in a playful and participative way and thereby better understand the way of life in the day and age of the builder of Chambord.
