From April 12 to 27, 2025, it's Easter vacation time! To mark the occasion, the Musée des Plans-Reliefs is offering a host of activities for you and your children to discover.

During the Easter 2025 vacations, we're taking advantage of a two-week respite - well, for the kids, who don't have school anymore - to head off to the museum to discover the latest exhibitions, but also to take advantage of the great program on offer during these vacations.

At the Musée des Plans-Reliefs, in Paris's 7th arrondissement, families are invited not only to discover the museum's collections, but also to take part in a creative workshop for children. An investigation game, a drawing workshop and a tour of the exhibition await you. From the Château d'If to Mont Saint-Michel, the Musée des Plans-Reliefs invites you to (re)discover France through the eyes of these centuries-old models, usually used in warfare.
