Amazonia. |

for fun and education.This is situated near Poitiers about

celebrates volcanoes and offers exhibits like “Journey to the centre of the
Earth!” It also has a new timely exhibit about Mars, and has workshops for
children aged between 6 – 12 years old. Children are treated as “explorers”

of the area! This is situated in the Auvergne about 1
