Using the Saint-Simon library’s collection and in partnership with them, ArkéoTopia invites children and their parents to come and discover the hidden side of archaeology at

Hands-on Archaeology
Discovering stratigraphy
at Saint-Simon library, Paris 7
See upcoming dates in the “Agenda” section or request a workshop with us in the location of your choice.

Using the Archéoville kit, provided by the Yvelinnes’Archaeological Service (SADY), ArkéoTopia leads children and teenagers on a discovery of archaeological digs, a central feature in the voyage through the archaeologist’s universe. Dive into an imaginary Gallo-Roman archaeological site to “dig” through different layers with your hands and uncover walls, graves, cross-sections and more. It’s up to you to recognize using touch and to interpret history. Come and make hypotheses and find out about the researcher’s methods.
