2) The Romanesque Walk
- For children from 9 to 12 years old
- Min. 1 accompanying person

This playful walk passes through the medieval streets of Estavayer. It is a question of finding a mystery word while walking in the streets, observing houses, towers and ramparts, fountains, etc. Drawings refine the observation; questions put in parallel the life in the Middle Ages and that of the 21st century. On this background a story is told by a guide and therefore the children are in a way the heroes, since they help an old myopic knight to find a key! In short, a fun alternative for entertaining children while pursuing educational goals.
