Description
Join us to celebrate diversity – that of plants, languages and cultures!

9.45 am: Botanical walk through the town. To celebrate plants and their richness, we’ll be joined by Cristau Contreras, a tireless explorer, mycologist and botanist. As we discover plants in the town’s most iconic spots, we’ll explore their Latin, French and Béarnais names, their habitats, uses and resilience.
11.30 am: a talk with David Grosclaude at the Moment Librairie, focusing on his latest book *Diversity: Surviving Climate Change and Cultural Cooling*.
12.30 pm: drinks reception.

These tours are unique in that they are conducted in Béarnais Occitan; ‘topinetas’ and ‘topinets’ will be on hand to translate into the visitors’ languages.
