1 Day:
Half-day guided tour of the Air and Space Museum.
In the XNUMXth century, the first flying machines began to appear.

Buffet lunch in Roissy, France, in one of the restaurants selected for its hospitality and the quality of its cuisine.
Afternoon, dinner and evening at the Abbey of Royaumont: Former abbey of the Middle Ages, the buildings were invested after the French Revolution to become a cotton spinning mill. The cloister, the old kitchens, refectories and dormitories were refurbished. The guided tour will emphasize this period of history, particularly the presence of the Belgian Van der Mersh family.
Free time is planned to enjoy the park and to go to the shop or sit at the bar while waiting for dinner.
The “vegetable flavors” menu is then served in one of the vaulted stone rooms. The Chef is inspired by traditional French gastronomy and prepares his dishes with local seasonal products: starter, hot dish, dessert, French wine and coffee.
