The project "Princesses and Princes in sneakers: ball at the castle of Laréole"

On Sunday, July 19, 2020, the castle of Laréole (Cadours, Haute-Garonne) was to be the theater of a big ball costumed eighteenth century, for children. Games and animations were to punctuate this day under the sign of the party with, as a bonus, the presence of the Toulouse Chamber Orchestra to animate the ball. This event was cancelled, of course, due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
For this project, the Archives départementales de la Haute-Garonne called on the talents of 23 students of First and Final Vocational section Professions of the Lycée Gabriel Péri de Toulouse. We entrusted them with the task of making the costumes of 15 children invited to the ball.
For several months, these children have been preparing for this event by participating in various educational activities with the Archives. Despite the cancellation of the ball, we decided to go through with this project with them.
