Monument game “Save the Réau”
Let's follow the adventures of a young boy who saved Réau Abbey in Saint-Martin-l'Ars from the British invaders!
Today, mum, dad, Clémentine and I went to a very old place to put ourselves in the shoes of a monk: the Abbaye de la Réau! With my sister, we were so happy because we love playing puzzles. When we arrived, the locals gave us very special clothes: monks' clothes.
I didn't know what a monk was. It seems that they never spoke and all lived together in large stone buildings. Every day they followed rituals and went to pray in the nearby abbey.
Today it no longer has a roof, it's a shame because it must have been too pretty.
For the game, we therefore dressed as a monk, it was funny. Even mum and dad dressed up. We found ourselves in 1372 a long, long time ago, and there was a war against the English. They wanted to invade the abbey and the monks' house, so we tried to stop them all together!
Clémentine was too strong, she answered lots of questions. We had fun entering the living rooms of the monks: the living rooms, the kitchen, the dining room, the bathroom, the bedrooms. And even to play hide and seek in secret rooms... but I'm not allowed to say that!
In the end, we managed to prevent the English from setting fire to the abbey, but it was less than one! We were so proud of ourselves!
After this game Expériences famille full of emotions, complete the visit with other activities offered on site: stone cutting or minting coins.
