And we’re off again : it’s holiday time ! Which also means the annual headache of finding original ideas to keep the kids busy during these two months off. Instead of sending them to their grandparents’ house or to summer camp, why not sign them up for workshops they can enjoy on their own or with you ?
On the agenda for an amazing summer away from screens : a class to learn how to make jam, a 100% thrill-packed experience, a countryside escape to discover farm animals, or even a tour of Paris with our favorite cartoon heroes. Let’s go !
The Sweetest
On a crêpe, a waffle, a slice of bread, in a cake or, even better, straight from the spoon, jam is a guilty pleasure we all have in our cupboards. What if we learned how to make it from scratch ? That’s exactly what this workshop offers, introducing children to cooking, from cutting the fruit to cooking it and finally potting it up. Homemade breakfasts are about to taste even better !
The Most Thrilling
No need to ask again : skydiving is a definite no ! To satisfy your child’s adventurous spirit, why not offer them a session in an indoor skydiving simulator ? Suit up with a flight suit, helmet and goggles before stepping into the wind tunnel: a 14-meter-high glass tube that recreates the sensation of freefall from 4,000 meters up! Ready for takeoff ?
The Most Countryside-Inspired
It’s THE place that draws little Parisians craving nature and greenery : the Ferme de Gally ! The former royal farm, located next to the grounds of the Château de Versailles, is home to countless wonders for children and adults alike. Among them : a bread-making and farm animals workshop at the Saint-Cyr farm. Budding bakers (ages 3–12) learn how to knead and shape bread with a Gally instructor, tastings included ! Bonus : full access to the entire Ferme de Gally after the workshop. Sheep, cows, pigs, horses and donkeys are all waiting patiently!
The Most Parisian
It’s sometimes hard to convince kids to go out for a walk in Paris. We’ve found the perfect way to get them excited: a guided tour of the capital inspired by animated movies. Jean-Baptiste’s team offers an original route through the Paris of Ratatouille, The Aristocats, A Monster in Paris, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. A guaranteed trip down memory lane!
