The Fête de la Science 2026, taking place from October 2 to October 12, 2026, will bring together scientists, educators, and the public for a wide range of events centered on science and its impact on everyday life. One of the highlights will be the involvement of Inrap, a French national institute for archaeological research, which will focus on the theme "Saveurs savantes," or "Scientific Flavors." This theme explores the deep connections between science, food, taste, and culture, particularly through the lens of ancient culinary practices. In the Meuse department, a special event titled "At the table of the Gallo-Romans" will offer visitors a chance to experience life during the Gallo-Roman era. The event will include workshops, tastings, and an exhibition called "Boire et manger, c’est toute une histoire," which translates to "Drinking and eating, that’s quite a story." These activities will highlight daily life, food, and drink during Antiquity, with opportunities for both children and adults to engage in fun, educational experiences. Visitors will also have the chance to meet with Inrap archaeologists who will share insights into how archaeology, especially the study of ancient ceramics, helps us understand the diets and food habits of people in the region during Roman times. This particular event will be held in Bure from Saturday, October 10, to Sunday, October 11, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Admission requires a physical identity document for adults. The location is the Building for public reception Centre de Meuse/Haute-Marne of Andra, situated between Saudron and Mandres-en-Barrois on Departmental Road 960. In Moselle, the Metz Science Village - Children's Garden of Science - UFR SciFA will take place on the Bridoux Campus over three days. The event is designed to engage visitors aged 10 and older in interactive scientific experiences. Among the activities will be workshops led by Inrap archaeologists, covering topics such as dendrochronology (the study of tree rings to determine age and past environmental conditions), xylology (the study of wood), and traceology (the analysis of physical evidence left at a crime scene or archaeological site). The event will be open to school groups from CM1 to 6th grade on Thursday, October 8, and Friday, October 9, with advance registration required at scifa-fds-contact [at] univ-lorraine.fr. On Saturday, October 10, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., the event will be open to the general public, with free admission. The venue is Campus Bridoux, located on General Delestraint Street, 57070 Metz.
