On the morning of Friday, September 15, 2023, two classes of 5th, 4th or 3rd will have the opportunity to be accompanied by the CAUE 41 to understand how the Bièvre shaped the history of the castle. Taking advantage of the restoration of the canal bridge, an architect-urban planner, a landscape architect and a water and river technician, will cross their eyes to guide the young people during a three-voice tour. They will explain the history of the site, marked by the spinning activity, and highlight the traces left by this past on the river, on the walls of the castle or in the gardens. The speakers will also invite young people to meet forgotten or unknown jobs.
