The forts for children

Avrieux

The goal is to learn about the history of the forts while having fun: a “Seven Families” game tour, scavenger hunts in the underground passages, an escape room, and a mystery game—all designed to teach children everything about the history of the Esseillon forts, with the children taking an active role in the tour.
