For more than 200 years, the Paris Archives has been collecting documents produced by the services of the city of Paris, but also by the various government departments located on the territory of the Seine and then Paris. For the young audience, games in a multi-purpose room offer children, as well as their parents, to explore the history of Paris by having fun. In the mode of the game of the goose, young and old (re)discover in a playful way events that have marked the history of the capital, illustrated by archival documents. The originals, dating from the Middle Ages to the present day, are exhibited to sensitize budding historians to the heritage. Memory and coloring are also available.
