If you would like to sit at a school desk again and rediscover the atmosphere of wax and ink, don't hesitate—you can take a dictation using a dip pen and enjoy many other activities!
You will discover an old-fashioned classroom with its distinctive atmosphere of wax, chalk, purple ink, pen holders, and blotting paper. Interested? The schoolmaster will explain these authentic objects from the past that marked your childhood (or that of your parents and grandparents). * Don't hesitate—you can take a dictation using a dip pen and purple ink, just for fun. (challenge: admission refunded if you make no mistakes) * As a bonus, you will see an exhibition entitled: "Rewards and Punishments". * Another surprise awaits you: an old-fashioned afternoon snack.
