Description

Immerse your whole family in the fascinating tales of mythology and set out to meet the dolphin, the faithful companion of the gods and sailors.
Treat your family to a fun and refreshing tour exploring the dolphin’s role in ancient mythology. Led by Christine Berthon, a certified tour guide, visitors of all ages will discover the many legends surrounding this iconic animal, which the Greeks and Romans regarded as the messenger of Poseidon, the protector of sailors, and a symbol of kindness and intelligence. Along the way, participants will encounter stories of Amphitrite, Bacchus, Arion, and Apollo, and learn why the name “dolphin” gave rise to the first name Delphine. A fun and family-friendly tour open to all, followed by the distribution of a game booklet to extend the discovery in a playful way.
