Crea'Magnon workshop

Immerse yourself in Prehistory by experimenting the techniques of our ancestors. Discover what they were able to do with the materials found in nature around them. And then it's off to play: making pretty beads from seashells, making paint from ochre or charcoal, modelling a lovely clay bowl...
There's a different workshop everyday: prehistoric jewellery, leather purses, Neolithic painting or pottery.
