AN EDUCATIONAL AND ENJOYABLE TOUR

Learn about history while having fun at the Manoir de la Cour!

The contemporary and entertaining visitor’s tour is translated into English and is great fun. Throughout the tour, children can handle various objects and play games and all while learning about history.

  • AN EXHIBITION THAT CALLS ON THE SENSES

    Discover the Middle Ages through the four senses of sight, smell, hearing and touch. There are flint samples, 3D puzzles, olfactory pottery to learn how to recognise medieval scents, audio activities for children and cartoons about archaeology for people of all ages!

  • DIGITAL TOUCH-SCREEN GAME ‘MEETING CANON JEAN’

    You’ll have five missions to take on to help Jean, a powerful religious nobleman, carry out his daily chores. This game will whisk visitors into the medieval world, to understand how the canons of Le Mans, lords of Asnières in the Middle Ages, builders of the Church of Saint-Hilaire and the Manoir de la Cour lived.

  • COSTUMES AVAILABLE TO USE

    From the beginning of the visit, children are free to use the costumes and then explore the various rooms of the Manoir dressed as a knight or princess!

A giant game of the goose!

In the stunning setting of the ‘Salle des Plaids’ ceremonial room, children can have fun playing a giant, 7-metre-long Game of the Goose. The aim of the game is to get to the centre, and to do so, children will have to answer questions and take on the challenges. A unique opportunity to have fun and see what life was life in medieval times!
