Tuesday May 20th
Animated conference “Introduction to reading geological maps
” and collective creation of the puzzle of the
geological map of France.
A useful tool for the geologist, the geological map can turn out to be
very enigmatic… A fun way to tame it
is to create the puzzle! The Geopark invites you to a
animated conference on the subject at the François
Mitterrand media library in Digne-les-Bains. A very special puzzle, published
by BRGM (Bureau de Recherche Géologique et Minière),
will also be available throughout
May. Let’s put the pieces of the geological puzzle together!
All ages, free
Meeting point : Médiathèque François Mitterrand at 5 p.m.
