Conferences:
“Understanding prejudices (to fight them better)”: What is the difference between a stereotype and a prejudice? Do we have the right to think what we think? Can we think “differently”? (cognitive biases…) What about racism and racial discrimination in France today? These are some of the key issues discussed at this conference-debate. (2h)
“Sol invictus”: the Sun is an essential element of the world’s mythologies. As a marker for directions in space and divisions of time, the Sun has always been an invitation to meditate the origin and the end, the Alpha and the Omega, speaking therefore to all civilizations… (1h)
“2000 years of history of Royan and Château de Mons”: from Antiquity, whose traces are lost in the mists of the estuary, to today’s city, transfigured by sea baths, sometimes blood-colored… (1h30)
“Stroll in the Skies”: commented exploration of the night sky. Between astronomy and mythology, history and philosophy. (Indoor conference – 1h30)
“An Arabic origin of Star names”: watching the stars through the Arabic language, or the ancestral dialogue between East and West. (1h)
“Arts and Stars”: the age-old dialogue between science and art. (1h30)
“Planet Earth, follow the guide!”: reflecting on our worldviews between nature and culture. (1h30)
Guided tours / Excursions:
“Eglise Saint-Pierre d’Aulnay-de-Saintonge”: this jewel of sacred architecture perfectly illustrates the “globalized” character of Romanesque art, the first total art since Antiquity, a receptacle of the traditions of the Old World and a vector for the renewal of Western thought. (1h30)
“La Rochelle”: “beautiful and rebellious”. A city with a strong character, whose fierce history I intend to tell along its old port and both medieval and Renaissance streets. (1h30)
“Royan”: from Antiquity, whose traces are lost in the mists of the estuary, to today’s city, transfigured by sea baths, sometimes blood-colored… Waves of a tumultuous history that tirelessly erase yesterday’s landscape to draw tomorrow’s skyline, come and discover a city with many faces. (2-hour walk)
“Stroll in the Skies”: commented exploration of the night sky. Between astronomy and mythology, history and philosophy. (outdoor walk – 2h)
“Ré la blanche”: Saint-Martin-de-Ré (fortifications of Vauban, Unesco World Heritage), La Flotte, Ars-en-Ré, le Fier d’Ars, Le Phare des baleines… (half-day or full-day excursion)
“Oléron la lumineuse”: Saint-Pierre d’Oléron (La Cotinière Harbor), Château d’Oléron (citadel), Fort-Royer (oyster farm), Phare de Chassiron… (half-day or full-day excursion)
