Associations, institutions and companies will present workshops, demonstrations and exhibitions in the Museum and in Rose Valland Square (Henry Vinay Park). Archeology, Astronomy, Biodiversity, and Motion Cinema Come satisfy your thirst for curiosity by discovering these disciplines in an original way.
Science Festival, a national event in Le Puy-en-Velay
Flag Day is a national event held every year in October. On this occasion, participants in the scientific life present a series of exhibitions, educational workshops, open days or other activities in research laboratories.
Created in 1992, it is organized every year by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research. This meeting was notably coordinated in Auvergne by the University of Clermont Auvergne. The Puy-en-Velay Science Village is jointly organized by the Agglomeration of Puy-en-Velay, the City of Puy and the astu’sciences association. The goal, then, is to get science out of the laboratories and bring it to the heart of the places where the citizens live. As a reminder, the science festival begins with the exhibition “Coup de foudre” in Shadrack and the activities that revolve around it.
