A storytelling session specially designed for children aged 3 to 7 is offered at the Alsatian Museum.

Originally a religious holiday, Easter has, over time, been enriched by essential animal symbols: the rabbit, the hen, the egg, and the fish, now often represented in chocolate. The rabbit evokes abundance, the hen fertility and motherhood, while the fish symbolizes life and prosperity. To introduce these symbols in a lively and accessible way, four actresses from the La Décapolienne theater company will offer stories, rhymes, and songs to children.

Maximum 20 children (3 to 7 years old), accompanied by adults.
