Season 20
After a first trip to Poitou-Charente, our next season will allow you to discover deeper the region. From the coast islands to the secrets of the local silver mines, from the hidden paths of Poitiers to the dark hours of the Revolution, you will continue to explore the province’s history.
Each conference lasts two hours. The program takes place on Fridays and Saturdays, Fridays in English, and Saturdays in French.
The first conference of our twentieth season will be held on Friday, September 23rd at 6:00 pm.
The cost for a session of 5 conferences is $ 60. But you can take advantage of our program’s bilingualism to improve your French or your English and register for the same price for the full session of 10 conferences.
If you prefer to select specific conferences, the pricing is $ 18 per conference, with still the option of attending the same conference in English and French, with no increase in the price.
