Festival of Astronomy: AstroLoup

Home Astronomy Festival of Astronomy: AstroLoup

Pra Loup hosts its 1st astronomy festival!

For its first edition, the Pra Loup Astronomy Festival invites young and old to look up at the sky and discover the wonders of the Universe in the heart of the Ubaye mountains.

For three days, Pra Loup becomes a real field of scientific, poetic and family exploration, open to enthusiasts as well as the simply curious. Conferences, workshops, sky observations, activities for children and time for discussion will allow everyone to better understand our place in the Universe, while enjoying an exceptional natural setting, far from the great urban lights.

This first edition will be structured around three main themes: the Moon, the mysterious companion of our nights; the Sun, our star, source of light and life; and the stars, which tell the story of the cosmos and illuminate mountain nights.

Between discovery, wonder and sharing, the Pra Loup Astronomy Festival promises a first edition focused on curiosity, knowledge and the beauty of the sky.
