Une chimère au bout du fil
A hand-sewn legend
Ready to go back in time? Head to the Château d’Harcourt in Chauvigny for an activity that builds family ties and embroiders fantastical creatures!
Your adventure begins in the heart of the Medieval City, where you meet Lady Dihia, your guide for the day. Her goal? To teach you how to handle a needle like a true craftsman of the Middle Ages!
Here, no machine or belt, just thread, patience and a bit of imagination! Dragons, mermaids and other chimeras are these creatures that have populated medieval bestiaries for centuries... and soon, your creations. Mom chooses a dragon, the little ones a mermaid and dad... a donkey that plays the guitar! A hand-sewn workshop, for memories that are not lacking in spice!
