RENCONTRES ASTRONOMIQUES DE COURRIÈRES

The Astronomical Encounters of Courrières are renowned in the north of France and have the big merit of getting out of the beaten paths (they do not take place in summer but indeed in winter in March!). This town of Pas-de-Calais organizes this event every year in the Cultural Center of the city… On the conference menu: workshops, stands, exhibitions, sunobservations and night observations according to weather conditions. A glance at the website of the Amateur Group Courriérois is enough to understand the dynamism of this association, which publishes, in particular, a very well-made journal downloadable free of charge.
