Make and move your own puppet in a hands-on creative workshop.

Through playful exercises and guided practice they explore movement, storytelling and fine motor skills while experimenting with textures, sounds and gestures. Small group work encourages sharing ideas and imaginative problem-solving.
In French. Kids ages 7–12.
Join lively mornings where tiny fingers bring animals to life. Little hand-puppets dance and invite children into John’s world full of surprises and sing-along rhymes.

This hands-on experience sparks curiosity, warm laughter and gentle learning through play.

The environment encourages sensory discovery, dramatic play and independent exploration in a poetic, living setting.

Step into Euphonia, an interactive sound installation inspired by Hector Berlioz’s tale Euphonia ou La Ville musicale. Here you don’t just listen: you blow, build, play, probe and invent together.

No musical training is required — a playful sonic adventure to share with family.
