The 2026 Fête de la Science in France is centered on the theme ‘Saveurs Savantes’, exploring the connections between science, food, and health. In the Alpes-Maritimes department, activities are scheduled from October 2 to 12 across locations such as Nice, Antibes, and Cannes, featuring laboratory visits and workshops on culinary chemistry.

Regional programming includes specific focuses on gastronomy and nutrition. In La Rochelle, the University is hosting a program from September 29 to October 12 investigating the links between biology, taste, and dietary habits. Meanwhile, in Lille, IMT Nord Europe and the University of Lille are organizing workshops titled ‘the secrets of taste’ from October 8 to 11, using interactive sensory experiences to demonstrate how smell, texture, and temperature influence food perception.
