Historic decoration at the heart of the workshop
“Flower, basilisk or knight?”: this title provides the starting point for a creative workshop devoted to decoration from times past. On Thursday 22 October 2026, during the school holidays, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lons-le-Saunier is offering this activity for curious youngsters.
From castle floors to medieval craftsmanship
The session invites children to discover the history of the paving tiles that adorned the floors of historic castles. These decorative features are the subject of this introduction, which combines learning with hands-on activity.
The approach is playful and engaging: through these tiles, participants are invited to take a fresh look at medieval craftsmanship and historic architecture. Exploring decoration from times past is thus central to the creative activity.
