Astrorama, Astronomy center in La Trinité, France.
Astrorama is an astronomy facility in the hills above Nice that offers viewing sessions through telescopes, planetarium shows, and hands-on demonstrations of space-related activities. The center brings together observation equipment, indoor projection facilities, and educational programs for people interested in celestial exploration.
The center was established to advance astronomical education in the Côte d'Azur region and is managed by the Parsec Association. The project grew from a local desire to bring space science knowledge to communities in southern France.
Through organized events, courses, and presentations about celestial bodies, Astrorama connects visitors with astronomical phenomena and space exploration concepts.
The site sits in the hills above the coast, with good access from Nice and surrounding areas. Wear sturdy shoes as paths to viewing stations can be steep, and bring a jacket since mountain air is cooler, especially at night during observation sessions.
The facility launches water rockets throughout the year, a hands-on experiment that demonstrates space flight physics in a playful way. This activity draws school groups and families who want to experience the practical side of rocket science firsthand.
