At 2pm, attend the show: «Justin, Maître Berger».
Every late spring, when water and grass resources are scarce in the garrigues of the Gard, Herault and on the first foothills of the southern Cévennes, the shepherds prepare to guide their sheep to the mountain pastures. This show, mixing tale, song and theatre, testifies to the richness of life and thought of these timeless shepherds.
Transhumance, present for millennia in the Cévennes, is now threatened with extinction in the years to come.
Despite its UNESCO Intangible Heritage designation, the presence of the wolf on Mount Lozère compromises the sustainability of pastoral activity in this region.
Beyond the debates for or against, this meeting will pay tribute to the transhumant shepherds who see their vocation, the fruit of a whole life, sink into general indifference.
At 3pm, enjoy a free visit of the Prehistorama, with departures until 5pm.
Come and explore the evolution of life and prehistoric humanity in an exciting and educational way through the palaeontological exhibition featuring more than 1,500 fossils, as well as dioramas depicting scenes with characters and animals reconstituted in real size. From 3pm to 6pm, you can participate in an entertaining game including a quiz, included in the entrance fee.
Be sure to visit the Carine Créations booth, where you can get temporary tattoos for free. Then join the workshop for creating Indian necklaces and tipis (cutting/coloring), also free.
At the Zigo Dingo stand, treat yourself to pancakes, popcorn and cotton candy available for sale. Finally, enjoy the Prehistorama refreshment bar to quench your thirst with cold drinks and coffee.
