Guided tour for school

The Tourism Department of the town hall of Monestiés welcomes classes from primary to secondary school, as well as leisure centers, to discover the history of the medieval village and its treasure, the statuary of the chapel St Jacques.

Our formulas will adapt to your educational project and we will design together the session(s). Interactive guided tours of the village and/or the chapel, discovery books, track game, sensory botanical walk, creative workshops...

By visiting the village, the children will understand the development and evolution of a village over the centuries and acquire an architectural vocabulary (medieval fortifications, civil and religious architecture).

In the chapel St Jacques students discover a major work of art of the Gothic sculpture of Occitania.
