There's nothing extraordinary about the workshop. Too many children in a busy place. Very expensive for the experience. Quite disappointed with the bread workshop.

Shipping Absolutely not worth the price paid.

Unable to access the site today because of the Tour de France. It would have been honest to warn at the time of purchase 😭

A purely theoretical workshop. Only one child, the most dissipated, took part in the demonstration. The workshop was very poorly located, with a lot of noise behind the seated children, who had a hard time keeping up. In Sartrouville and Saint Denis, it was quieter and the children took turns to participate.

Geneviève's review
The workshop was interesting, but only for part of the group who responded... The other part was completely neglected by the lady presenting the workshop, which meant that my child (and not only him) didn't feel like trying to take part (he didn't even have time to think about it, as she quickly gave the floor...!) not great. However, we did taste some very good honey. The visit to the farm alone remained a very good moment, which made up for the workshop...

The wax candle-making activity listed in the program description did not take place.

Rather disappointing activity, lacklustre and confused

Sylvie's review
Interesting workshop, but the passage of all the visitors to the farm is a major nuisance: noise, difficult to hear the host.
CLAUDE
CLAUDE's review
The workshop was interesting and the girl who ran it was very friendly, but it was a pity that it was almost entirely theoretical. The only "practical" moment for the children was to turn the crank of the machine for 5 seconds to extract the honey, then taste a small spoon. A bit disappointing...

Interesting, interactive workshop. Every child can participate, and the manipulators take turns. But the group should not exceed 6/8 children. Waiting times are too long between each manipulation and the children drop out and dissipate. It's a shame...

A fun workshop in which the children learn a few things, but it lacks practice. They only make one candle at the end and it doesn't last very long. The bread workshop is much nicer, because they practice throughout the workshop.

It was almost average, too much pedagogy, no activity or manipulation, and too noisy perhaps because of Sunday and that it was in full passage, but especially it misses the playful side and activity as manipulation of wax, make a candle, make taste the honey to the children one by one was not playful, this time can be devoted to creativity. I wouldn't recommend it :),
