    I could have given a score of 5 but the explanatory tables for children (with the doors that open) which are very informative were too low for me (knee pain)

    Yeah well it's completely against cultural to close every afternoon could at least alternate with the escape game (of which I am a very big gamer), a family of 4 people more than 50 km from the site has no chance to make the visit, if not to rush, what's the point? And what's more, the escape game is not mentioned on the website 😡

    The museum is very nice. To discover with a game area. PS: Do not hesitate to call if the door does not open.
