There’s a programme of behind-the-scenes visits coming up next month which has been designed to introduce locals and visitors alike to activities and industries here in Provence.
You can visit the Airport and Museum of Aviation, soap manufacturers, Décathlon, the Grand Theatre de Provence, calisson makers, an artisanal brasserie to taste the beer, vineyards of course, Centrale EDF at Martigues, Iter, Cadarache, or go backstage at the Silo in Marseille. And lots more.
The events take place under the ‘Indus3days’ banner, organised by the tourist office in Gardanne.
Dates: 10-23 Feb: in previous years, events have been sold out quickly so time is of the essence for the popular visits.
Cost: 6€, free for the under 6s.

There’s NOTHING about the climate crisis and all the energy going into organising this event! Why not?
Suggest you use the link I’ve given to communicate with the people organising the programme. My own suggestion to you would be to take the opportunity to visit ITER where 35 countries are working together on the world’s largest fusion project to provide clean energy….I found it hope -inspiring.
