You learn best with your own eyes!
Students discover our most beautiful sites:
Schools, middle schools, high schools, IMEs and MECSs from across the region visit our flagship sites all year round.
The Barrois quarry of Freyming-Merlebach is revealed, with our expert guides, in four aspects:
- Sandstone, this rock that surrounds us
- Discovering wild birds
- Life in the pond (animals, plants, insects and the life cycle of these living beings)
- Learn to recognize animal tracks and footprints
These four points are offered, either in the form of workshops (classes divided into four groups, which move from workshop to workshop), or in the form of a guided walk with nature observation stations.
The morning workshops are often followed by a cinema session in the afternoon, all organized by us and à la carte with the teachers.
For example, CP, CE2 and CM1 who came on May 12, 2022 for a workshop package, tell you in photos about their discovery of biodiversity, on the school blog.
Le medieval town of Hombourg-Haut is a treasure of history and heritage, dating from the XNUMXth century, where castles, canons and knights experienced a true golden age.
The built heritage is exceptional with its collegiate church, its ramparts, its chapel, its fountain and its procession of unique statues, a circuit dotted with numerous gems revealed by the guide.
Intangible cultural heritage is also important, since the tales and legends specific to the village, very popular with schoolchildren, are a fun way to approach the challenges of the lives of our ancestors.
It is also an opportunity to “meet” famous people like Théodore Gouvy or Simon Batz, for example.
The village of Hoste, with its ponds, is the perfect balance between History and Nature: there are several bird observation posts and the particular biotope around its ponds is conducive to the study of many subjects: water cycle, birds, amphibians, wild flora , fish…
The built heritage is also very enriching: notably the Güth house, the pendulum well, the siphon room from the Second World War (still functional!!)…
The village of Hoste is particularly suitable for little ones.
Not far away, the Cappel lagoons are also the subject of school trips for their biodiversity, to talk about ecosystems, water cycles and the fauna present, with a site technician and a second naturalist guide.
These three sites can also be visited, with or without a guide, in the form of Randoland: a fun circuit with puzzles to solve along the way.
