General language question
Les activités proposées dans ce guide utilisent les symboles suivants :
activité encadrée
(guidée, commentée ou animée)
activité libre
I have translated this as follows:
The activities offered in this guidebook use the following symbols:
organized activities {symbol}
(guided, commentated or ??...................);
independent activities {symbol}
but am not sure how to deal with 'animée' in this context. Any suggestions - what exactly is an 'activité animée'.... I thought it was simply what we would call an 'organized activity' in English. Or are we dealing with French overstatement here?

Comment: "Well, in the end, this term turned out to the closest to what was actually meant in my particular context, although it could have been any other of the excellent suggestions made by everyone who answered - and I thank you all very much. Cheers!"

interactive
Perhaps? Maybe where they get you to do things as well as having a commentary or being guided round....

led/compered/hosted
from the sense of "animateur"... a step further than just guided or commentated, perhaps

"guided" activity
I m not sure "guided" is the right word here, but what "animée" means if that someone is there to act as a facilitator/organiser (l'animateur/animatrice). Hope this explanation helps

demonstration
I would say that "guidée" refers to a guided tour, "commentée" to a tour with a pre-recorded commentary and "animée" to a demonstration, whether interactive or not.
