"Tags" or "graffiti art" is as old as Man. If prehistoric cave paintings are a form of this art, we may also include writing, engravings, doodles and scribbles common to walls... traces of our presence, means of communication and expression of the self.
Is there a child who has not drawn on his bedroom walls, at least once? Well, it's the same at Chillon Castle, where all kinds of inscriptions, even very old ones, are to be seen; these were left by castle dwellers or guests, including the most illustrious Lord Byron, for example!
A guided tour for young explorers, future historians or graffiti artists! The workshop lasts two hours, with complimentary entrance to the castle for parents. Members of the Drako Club benefit from discounts on all activities organized by Chillon throughout the year.
It is best if your child speaks and understands a little French although he/she might be helped out in English at times.
