Discovering science and atoms!

On July 17 and 18, in the shade of the Jardin des Plantes trees, the Scientific Culture Department of the University of Montpellier will be setting up an ephemeral library: comics, novels and classic works will be on display to help you discover the sciences and atoms in an original way, or simply enjoy a reading break in the green.

  • Two days of activities supervised by scientific mediators, offering a fun approach to science.
  • Workshops to create and illustrate imaginary atoms with Loguy, a talented graphic artist.
  • Want to go further? La Cavale cooperative bookshop offers a selection of thematic books to help you better understand scientific phenomena.

The fifth edition of the major children's book festival, "Partir en livre", called for by the French Ministry of Culture and organized by the Centre National du Livre (CNL), will be held from July 10 to 21, 2019.

With "Partir en livre", a free, popular and festive event, books come out of their usual places to meet children and young people and pass on to them the pleasure of reading.
Workshops, readings, meetings with authors and illustrators, off-site libraries and bookshops, shows and games... The events offered throughout France are invitations to read and enjoy reading freely, for everyone, from toddlers to young adults, with family or friends, at their vacation destination or close to home.
