Heritage

Dive head first into history

What better than hands-on activities to turn a history lesson into a fascinating journey back in time for your children?

From Prehistory, via the Middle Ages and the Renaissance period, Burgundy pulls out all the stops so you can learn about some of the key moments throughout history!

Thanks to fun activities adapted to families, including workshops, historic re-enactments and investigations, the whole family will enjoy travelling back through time.
