Curious about everything, young and old alike, get ready to plunge into the heart of an event where discovery rhymes with wonder! The Fête de la Science awaits you from October 3 to 13, 2025, and this year's theme is"Intelligence(s)": human, animal, collective or artificial intelligence. It's a much-anticipated annual national event, designed to promote scientific culture to all publics through free workshops, exhibitions, conferences and interactive activities. In 2025, the event aims to"rethink what it means to be intelligent, beyond human boundaries", as Campus France explains, by opening up the dialogue between science, technology and the living world.
Dammartin-en-Goële, a commune in the Seine-et-Marne region of Île-de-France, is located on a promontory of the Goële plateau. Its long history dates back to antiquity, as evidenced by Neolithic and Gallo-Roman finds on its territory. From the Middle Ages onwards, Dammartin was the seat of an important county: the Counts of Dammartin exerted a notable influence, and notably Antoine de Chabannes, a companion of Joan of Arc, became lord of the town through marriage in the 15th century. The fortified castle that dominated the town was dismantled, but its location still dominates the local landscape. Heritage gems include the listed Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame and the remains of theChurch of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, testimony to the town's rich religious past.
Combining science and heritage: that's the exciting challenge facing Dammartin this year. When you come to the Ludo-Mediatheque intercommunale George Sand to take part in the intelligence workshops, you'll discover a commune that's both lively and historic, where every alleyway tells a page from the past. With its elevated terrain, panoramic views and castle remains, Dammartin offers an inspiring setting to stimulate curiosity. What's more, taking part in the Fête de la Science here means not only enjoying interactive activities, but also rediscovering a little-known town with deep roots. Last but not least, for fans of local cultural outings, this blend of science, history and wonder is a strong invitation: come and explore intelligences in a setting full of charm and memory!
