Our Core Pillars of Action

Under our official classification for Museum Management (NAF 91.02Z), we operate at the intersection of science, culture, and the environment:

  • Scientific Culture and Outreach: We translate complex scientific concepts into accessible knowledge. Through exhibitions, workshops, and publications, we make the history of the Earth understandable for all audiences.

  • Natural Heritage Valorization: We actively participate in the identification and protection of local natural sites, ensuring that geological and paleontological treasures are preserved for scientific study and public viewing.

  • Environmental Awareness: By studying the past, we shed light on the present. Our programs emphasize the functioning of ecosystems and the critical importance of preserving biodiversity and our natural environment.

  • Local and Scientific Development: We serve as a catalyst for local growth by promoting scientific tourism and collaborating with educational institutions to turn our region into a hub for Earth sciences.


Our Values: Discovery, Education, and Conservation

At Paléodécouvertes, we believe that every fossil and rock formation tells a story about the resilience of life. Our association is built on the values of scientific integrity and inclusive education. We strive to inspire curiosity and respect for the natural world, empowering citizens to become stewards of our Earth’s irreplaceable heritage.
