Description

Dive into the infinity of the starry sky and let yourself be carried away by the magic of the universe. On the programme: constellations, planets, nebulae and galaxies, all with a simple, accessible introduction to mythology and astronomy!
How an evening goes : During this evening, we will do our utmost to enable you to observe directly through our large 600 mm telescope. We'll alternate between naked-eye observations (constellations) and observations through our telescopes (T600, eVscope and/or Meade LX200, depending on the sky and the team in charge). In the event of bad weather: The evening of observation will not be cancelled or reimbursed. We will offer a planetarium session as well as a meteorite discovery workshop. Important information : 1. Reservations are required to attend an evening event. All bookings are final. See our general terms and conditions. 2. Once your order has been placed and validated, you will receive an order confirmation email. 3. Parking is compulsory in the 1st car park (500m from the Observatory) except for PRM, the elderly and pushchairs. For everyone's safety, please keep to a walking pace. 4. Plan to arrive 15 minutes early so that you can cover the route without hurrying. If you are too late, you may be refused access to the site. 5. Don't forget to go to reception as soon as you arrive, and to have your order number with you (this will serve as your entry ticket). 6. Finally, bring a torch, good shoes and warm clothing.
