Joins us for the Journées de la Culture: a conference on The Vikings in North America: an Indelible Trace

A Presentation by the historian Frédéric Belley.

This presentation also focuses on the exploration of Vineland, which raises many questions. In light of recent historical and archaeological research, we discover that thanks to their science, the Vikings have left more traces than we think in North America. In this presentation, you will have the opportunity to see how the study of history can be useful in practice in today's society.

Please arrive at 13h30 to reserve your ticket at the welcome desk. Space in the auditorium is limited.

In French. This conference is not appropriate for children younger than 14 years old. Thank you for your understanding.
