Preparing your visit to the Historial

This section provides information for booking and organising your visit.

Possible Activities

When visiting the Historial, school groups can choose between a wide variety of activities both inside the museum and outside in the town of Péronne or on the battlefields.

Please note: guided tours within the museum are not available for school groups.

  • Investigate in the Museum (duration: 1.5 to 2 hours): students work independently with school work sheets developed by the Education Department
  • Guided tours: guided field trips are available in complement to the museum visit.
  • A half-day tour of the Remembrance Trail accompanied by a Historial guide. The tour usually includes three sites: Lochnagar Crater in La Boisselle, Beaumont Hamel Newfoundland Memorial Park, and the Thiepval Memorial. Through these sites the students will learn about the Battle of the Somme, from the battles that took place in 1916 to the importance of remembrance.
  • The reconstruction tour takes students through the streets of Péronne (duration: 1 to 1.5 hours). No guide is needed as teachers are given a booklet about the tour developed by the Education Department (itinerary, questions and answers)
  • Workshops (for primary schools)

Workshops complement the museum visit. Conducted by a teacher from the Education Department, the workshops take place in the school room (duration 1 to 1.5 hours) and study topics chosen by the teacher from a list provided.

Please note: bookings required and subject to availability

Bookings

In order to provide the best possible service, it is essential for us to regulate the flow of visitors in the museum. In consequence, school groups must book their visit by contacting the Education Department’s secretary: email educ@historial.org ; tel +33 (0)322835414 from Monday to Friday.

Teachers will then be asked to confirm their booking by signing and returning the various documents (commitment charter, reply coupon, method of payment). If the Education Department has not received these documents within three weeks of the visit, the Historial reserves the right to reallocate the booking to another group.
