THE COURSE PROPOSED TO THE CHILDREN

The Children's Gallery offers a 5-step tour to understand biodiversity from a local level to its global issues.

Under the cobblestones, life

  • The visit starts in Paris
  • It is a question of understanding the animal and vegetable diversity sheltered by Paris
  • To discover the falcons of Notre-Dame or the hedgehogs of the gardens, for example, children play with an animated cupboard, a virtual magnifying glass, a musical memory?

Freshwater sailors

  • Analysis of an alluvial plain crossed by the Seine
  • The river, in the form of a transparent table, hosts naturalized specimens and animations
  • It is an opportunity to understand the interactions between plants, aquatic animals and humans

Around the world

  • Time to put into perspective the information gleaned during the visit
  • It is a time to reflect on the relationship we have with nature and how to preserve it

Cogitate, cogitons

  • A playful device promotes eco-citizen actions
  • A collective role-playing game allows you to take on the responsibilities of a town councillor who is questioning the introduction of organic food in the canteen. Will you agree with the arguments of the agronomist, the doctor or the organic farmer?

And also in the neighborhood (5th and Latin Quarter)
