Saint-Paterne-Racan to host biodiversity cultural week

Saint-Paterne-Racan will host a Scientific Cultural Week from September 28 to October 3, 2026, focused on the theme “Biodiversity is life, it is our life.” Organized by the Fédération Régionale des Maisons des Jeunes et de la Culture (FRMJC) of Centre-Val de Loire and Centre Sciences, the event features interactive scientific exhibitions and the Cosmorium, an inflatable digital planetarium.

The Cosmorium will offer immersive 4K and 180-degree digital shows, including “Natural Selection,” a 41-minute program exploring Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. This initiative is funded by the Centre-Val de Loire Region and the European Union through FEDER funds.
