600,000 years of the history

OF MANKIND

The great natural park of Prehistory tells you 600 000 years of Man's history.

You will discover the gestures and techniques of our prehistoric ancestors thanks to workshops led by enthusiasts. The reconstruction of habitats and daily life prove the permanent interaction between Man and Nature since the beginning of Humanity.

In Samara, archaeology comes alive. One by one, preconceived ideas fall away and we learn while having fun. Visitors will be able to witness the working of metal, clay or fibers, try their hand at throwing an assegai, learn the technique of lighting a fire, the cutting of flint, etc.

The adventure goes on

NATURE AND ARCHAEOLOGY

 

The discovery continues in the marshes of the Somme valley. Samara is also a real nature sanctuary: plant species, old peat extraction pits. The atmosphere becomes mystical when discovering the ex-votos that emerge from the water.

During a break in one of the restaurants, taste the "cervoise", an authentic Gallic drink.

"Travel back in time through more than 600,000 years of man's history. From the Palaeolithic period to the time of the Gauls, visitors can immerse themselves totally in daily life. Ours is a constant search for historical accuracy. So every recreation, every organised activity, every event is based on scientific studies. We leave nothing to chance."
