In this playful audio guide, Prune and Apple take children aged 4 to 6 for a short walk in the town of Verneuil-sur-Avre. Listed among the Most Beautiful Detours in France, the old medieval city is a veritable open-air museum. The storytelling duo invites children to raise their noses, observe, play, listen to stories or sing in the alleys of the city.
This new tool designed in partnership with the Normandy South Eure Tourist Office is available free of charge on your tablet or phone with izi. Follow the circuit in connected version or download the circuit beforehand. Apple : They are two great friends born in Normandy, with very different characters. Pomme is the scholar, passionate about history and architecture.
Plum: Prune is the little ingenue. She asks a thousand questions like a child marveling at everything. Christina: First and foremost, I am a director. I started my career with acting classes for all ages. Evreux, Gaillon, Louvier, Acquigny, Vernon… For 15 years, the troupe has been discovering historic sites throughout the Eure department and in particular the Saint-Nicolas de Verneuil abbey.
I also have a theatrical background. I had difficulty bringing performance professionals to the small country schools. So I decided to create my character. I became the Pakita fairy. I first played in schools in Normandy then at Center Parcs where my real life as a fairy began in theaters and concert halls in France and abroad. I even had the pleasure of playing at the Olympia! I have recorded CDs, written many children's books while remaining as much of a schoolteacher as possible because I love helping children grow up.
In real life, Christine Apple and Pakita Prune have shared a true friendship for over 30 years! Christina: Because, in the Eure department, Verneuil is one of the most interesting towns for its heritage. Pakistan: The Vernolians are incredibly warm and generous! I was away for more than 15 years from the Verno scene and when I came back, people hadn't forgotten me.
