Meet at the Lans-en-Vercors Tourism information office for a two-hour evening tour in French or English.

The advertised group size is eight, though group numbers may vary.
Meet Edmond at Port Fréjus for a 90-minute astronomy evening at Base Nature François Léotard. Walk about five minutes on flat ground with the sound of waves, then use a telescope to explore the stars and solar system before returning. The English-language experience is limited to 10 people.
