Cosmodrôme

The Cosmodrôme is a space exploration visitor center in Villefranche-le-Château featuring displays about space technology, observation equipment, and information about planets and stars. The facility shows how astronomers study the night sky using various tools.

The center was established to build local interest in astronomy and space science. It grew into an important venue for people wanting to learn about the night sky and how it works.

The center brings together local interest in space through regular programs that help visitors understand how astronomers observe the night sky. People come here to learn about the stars and planets they can see from Earth.

The center is designed primarily for nighttime viewing, with activities focused on observing the night sky. Visitors should plan for evening hours and bring appropriate clothing for outdoor observation.

Few visitors realize that with professional equipment you can see specific details on planets, not just their shapes from Earth. This level of observation makes the scale of space feel real and personal.
