Scientific tourism differs from other forms of learning tourism in that it puts the visitor in concrete relation with the research carried out on the territory visited. This first map of scientific tourism on the North Shore is composed of a diversity of experiences that meets these criteria. These science-based activities are not necessarily year-round. It is therefore preferable to consult the company's website to ensure that the offer is present at the time of your visit.
