The preschool booklet does not require filling in.

Plan Your School Trip to the Heart of the Middle Ages

An Educational Visit Adapted to School Groups

Château de Saint-Jean-d’Angle provides a hands-on way to introduce pupils to the Middle Ages. As they explore the fortress, pupils discover medieval architecture, defensive walls and different areas of the castle while learning about life in medieval times. The visit helps bring classroom lessons to life through direct observation of a historic monument. It also encourages pupils to ask questions, investigate their surroundings and develop their curiosity.

Educational Activity Booklets to Support Learning

Educational activity booklets are available on request to help teachers prepare and structure their visit. They allow pupils to explore the site through activities suited to their educational level. Resources are available for different age groups, from nursery and primary school to lower secondary school, depending on the booklets offered. Teacher resources help with planning the visit, while pupil booklets encourage active participation throughout the experience. Please contact our team before your visit to find out which educational resources are available and plan a suitable learning programme.

Interactive Activities to Extend the Learning Experience

Beyond discovering the castle’s history, the leisure park offers activities that encourage pupils to observe, think and work together. Group puzzle-solving activities, for example, provide a fun way to extend the historical discovery. The castle grounds also feature spaces inspired by the medieval world, offering further opportunities for exploration and discussion. Depending on the programme and time of year, these activities can enrich the visit and encourage pupils to learn together.
