A merry month of May
Learning while having fun: that's the project our guides have been working on since the beginning of May, organizing theatrical tours.
Messire de la tête en l'air, Dame Olivette and Messire de la mèche au vent tell the story of the château in a playful and original way. A fun way to learn history, to the delight of children and their parents.

Luxuriant nature
The rain did the gardens at Château d'Ainay-le-Vieil some good. Nature was gracefully awakened for the "Jardins ouverts pour le Neurodon" operation.
A great way to highlight the many benefits nature has to offer the brain. During the weekend of May 6 and 7, €2 from each admission ticket was donated to the FRC (Fédération pour la Recherche sur le Cerveau).
The bonsai pruning workshops organized by Maria Millet, a resident of the village of Ainay and a Bonsai Master, were a great success, as was the “From Farm to Table” lunch, inspired by the Renaissance and created by Maria Rodriguez, chef atLa Volière ,La Volière the restaurant at Château .
It's an opportunity to enjoy a beautiful program in the park and gardens of the Château d'Ainay-le-Vieil, while doing a good deed.
See you next year.
