Every hour (at 2.15pm, 3.15pm, 4.15pm and 5.15pm), children can go on an egg hunt in the park's undergrowth. A part of the woods will become the realm of 6-10 year-olds, while a smaller area will be dedicated to 3-5 year-olds accompanied by their parents to unearth the eggs. Their mission? Find at least six dummy eggs, including a precious yellow egg, at the foot of trees, in bushes, under branches or in leaves. These are then exchanged for a bag of real chocolate eggs, guaranteeing everyone their share of delicious treats!

There's plenty to keep the kids entertained this Easter:

• Culinary workshop: chocolate

Franck Nanguy (Au fil des Saisons) invites children to rediscover chocolate by making a few simple, gourmet pieces. At the end of the workshop, children leave with a bag of treats they've made themselves.

• Crepe flowers workshop

This workshop enables children to make pretty flowers from crepe paper. Simple folds to create a pretty bouquet!

• Olympic Eggs

This event is sure to please young and old alike. Race an egg balanced on a spoon. The first to cross the finish line without dropping their egg wins! The prize is chocolate eggs!

• Ring toss

Skill and precision are the watchwords of this game. Estimate the distance, aim and throw! The participant who passes the most rings wins!

• Trail games on the estate

From 3 to 12 years old, the trail games are an opportunity to go from discovery to discovery. In a fun and lively way, children can learn all about a remarkably well-preserved site that has been classified as a Historic Monument: the inhabitants, the animals, the buildings, the trees, the dovecote, the vegetable garden...

• Drawing Competition

To your pencils! This drawing workshop invites children to use their imagination and creativity to decorate their Easter egg. As a bonus, you'll win some very large chocolate eggs.

• Discovering Easter animals

It's Easter in the animal world too. Long live the chickens and chicks that children can discover during their visit. In the park, sheep and lambs revive the ancestral tradition of pleasure grazing, commonly used in the 17th century to maintain parks and gardens. And to find out all about the advantages of this eco-grazing practice, meet the shepherd in person.

Happy egg hunt 2024!
