Vitré’s heritage and museums service invites children from the age of seven into the château for a workshop on ornament. Madame de Sévigné sets the theme, and the group talks through décor, ornementation and orfèvrerie as the marquise’s own century understood them. The newly opened exhibition room supplies the examples to look at closely. Each child then draws, borrows what they like and invents an ornament of their own.
Madame de Sévigné: décor workshops for children
Madame de Sévigné sets the tone for a children’s workshop on décor and orfèvrerie, built around a newly opened exhibition room in Vitré.
