In addition to the usual visits, Ethni'Cite offers an escape in three ways, all original:
- Troglodyte in the moonlight, which takes you lit with torches and candles to trace the history of the cellars from Richard Coeur de lion until today, the fortress of Chalopy, and habitats of the weavers of hemp of the 18th century, all guided by Lady Constance and Mother Jaspine,
- Appointment with the prehistory, where you will understand how were the hunting parties at this time, how the fire was domesticated, and how rock art and ceramics one have emerged,
- Secret Garden, where Lady Lucette presents some of its plants and herbs from his simple square (medicinal plants), but also for cooking.

Every Friday night in summer 2010 at 21:00 Lady Constance and Mother Jaspine immersed visitors in the life of the 18th century cellars.
It was advisable to book to participate in the discovery of caves of St Remy-sur-Creuse and entitled 'Lights and Shadows of the caves'.
