FESTIV’ASTRO : Provence Astronomy Festival

The aim of this festival is to celebrate astronomy in all its forms through fully free, open-access public events held across the Provence region, from Marseille to Saint-Michel-l’Observatoire.

The scientific program highlights the latest advances in astrophysics research, showcases the major astronomy sites of Provence (such as the Longchamp Astronomical Observatory, the Château-Gombert Astrophysics Laboratory, and the Haute-Provence Observatory), includes activities tailored for children (and their families), and of course offers astronomical observations of the sky both during the day and at night.

This event is organized by Marseille-based astrophysicists in collaboration with amateur astronomers from Provence.
