The park was opened in 1988 and is located on the edge of the Oppidum of La Chaussée-Tirancourt. The visitor walks through a period of 600,000 years, from the Neolithic to the Gallo-Roman period. Houses from the Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age were reconstructed in a scientifically sound manner. One can see flint workers, weavers, basket weavers and potters at work. It also shows how wood, bronze and iron were worked in earlier times. The making of mosaics is also discussed. A number of themed walks are planned, including a walk in a swamp area where peat cutting in previous centuries is highlighted.

A beautiful park to discover with the kids. However, the archaeological part only opens at 2 p.m. They are carrying out work in the area of the lake and it is therefore closed.
