A fun and educational school outing


For your school outings, Le Château des Énigmes offers you a fun and educational day with a game trail in the heart of a magical universe. A thrilling journey that allows children to test their deduction, observation and agility skills. For nearly 3 hours, children will be plunged into the shoes of apprentice wizards and will be able to discover the park of the Château de Laàs, its outbuildings and its small educational farm while having fun.


This concept of visit exists since 18 years in the Castle of Usson (in Charente-Maritime) with now more than 120 000 enthusiastic pupils welcomed. The educational nature of this type of visit has been supported for many years by the Charente-Maritime Education Inspectorate and it has received numerous awards from both the public and institutions (Best Tourist Event awarded by the Demeure Historique, AFIT Grand Prix, etc.).

 

A life-size treasure hunt


The pupils will have to use their senses of observation, deduction, balance, touch, smell... (and even do a bit of maths) to solve, as a team, the 19 tasks of this course lasting between 2 and 3 hours (depending on the age of the pupils).

The course will take them on a thrilling journey through different landscaped gardens (the bamboo grove, the Italian gardens, the vegetable garden, the French garden) and the outbuildings of the Château decorated as 17th century living quarters.

Optional workshops/tours


We offer several options for visits and workshops to complete your day at the Château de Laàs.

For example, you can organise a guided tour of the Serbat Museum adapted to the age of the pupils, take part in a creative workshop (making a fan, writing a Fable of La Fontaine with a pen) or discover the orchard and the vegetable garden in the company of an arborist.

 

A comfortable outing


To make your visit easier and to help you make the most of the castle, we provide you with
- a free car park accessible to buses.
- a personalised welcome, with a hostess reserved for the well-being of your classes.
- games adapted to the youngest (from 4 years old) as well as the oldest.
- a shaded picnic area exclusively for your school (or a sheltered area in case of rain).
