Guédelon, hands on learning!
 | © Guédelon |
Guédelon is a journey back in time. Step over the threshold into the heart of a by-gone age. No harsh mechanical sounds, no engines running - just a natural environment that elevates the senses. Explore the site to the sound of metal on stone, the sawing of wood, horses' hooves on bare earth and the hammer striking the anvil - become totally immersed in the 13th Century. Guédelon, unlike most other building sites, is open to the public. One of the project's principal raisons d'être is to demonstrate and explain to as many people as possible, the craftsmanship of our forebears.

Quarrying, stone carving, stone masonry, woodworking, transporting materials by horse and cart are just some of the many crafts and skills that visitors to Guédelon may discover or re-discover. Guédelon is an educational tool, suitable for use by people of all ages. Guédelon: living history Each season around 60,000 schoolchildren come to Guédelon and follow activity trails specifically designed for children. A field trip to Guédelon is the ideal way to bring to life the school history curriculum.

No virtual reality here - throughout the changing seasons, a quarry and a forest form the background to the building of a real castle. The guided tours, demonstrations and in situ explanations engage the students and give real meaning to history, architecture, geometry and the sciences.
