Aimé Bonpland, who are you?
For the 250th anniversary of your birth in La Rochelle in 1773, we followed in your footsteps in Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil and Uruguay. We looked for the adventurer, more exactly the «scientist»! We were told the explorer, the botanist, the doctor, the spy, the agronomist, the tireless entrepreneur and the humanist. We met a free man, a surprising modernity! We tell about your incredible adventure in the countries of the Plata basin in an exhibition presented in the greenhouse named in your honor, and a feature-length documentary.
Cécile Taillandier and Patrick Chiuzzi

About the location

Carré Amelot

10 rue Amelot, 17000 La Rochelle

Charente-Maritime
Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Located in the heart of La Rochelle, in an old arsenal designed by Choderlos de Laclos in the eighteenth century, this atypical space has already known several lives: disused by the army in 1946 then transformed into a place of tobacco storage by the Seita until 1959, the place was bought by the municipality of La Rochelle in 1961 to install the Maison des Jeunes, which was inaugurated in 1969 in the presence of many personalities. Managed as an association, the Maison des Jeunes was renamed Carré Amelot in 1990.
