Presentation of the model of Mont-Dauphin (18th century) by pupils from the Emile-Roux 2 school in Soisy-Sous-Montmorency.
A copy of the model of the fortified town of Mont-Dauphin was produced by CM1/CM2 classes from the Emile Roux 2 school in Soisy-sous-Montmorency. Accompanied by the Musée des Plans-Reliefs, the pupils practiced period manufacturing techniques to reproduce the landscape and relief. The buildings and fortifications were created by the students during their school trip to the town of Mont-Dauphin, with the help of the site's teaching staff.
The model was used as part of the set for the end-of-year show "The fruit of the king", staged, written and performed by the students.
The town of Mont-Dauphin is one of the nine towns created ex-nihilo by Vauban. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This guided tour provides an introduction to the world's most unique collection of plan-reliefs. Visitors will travel through 17th- to 19th-century France, from the English Channel to the Mediterranean, with the help of models in the museum!
No reservation required. Open to all. Please report directly to the museum reception desk (4th floor, cour d'honneur des Invalides - aile Orient).
