The schooner Tara calls at Lyon

From December 6, 2023 to January 20, 2024

Since 2003, the schooner Tara has been criss-crossing the world's seas to study the ocean, understand how it works and anticipate the upheavals in biodiversity caused by climate and environmental risks.

As part of the Foundation's 20th anniversary celebrations, the schooner Tara will sail up the Rhône from the Mediterranean Sea to Lyon, where it will stop between the two phases of the Tara Europa expedition, to highlight the link between land, people, rivers and the ocean.
This exceptional stopover in Lyon will be an opportunity, through a program adapted to all audiences, to offer new ways of looking at the Ocean at the crossroads of science, art, philosophy...
address the interconnection between climate issues, biodiversity and pollution, and provide citizens with the keys to observation, understanding and action, so that everyone can shape their relationship with this environment and commit to protecting it.

A stopover open to all, supported by the Metropole and Lyon City Council, and co-constructed with local players.
