5:30 p.m. instead of 6:00 p.m.: Valpic Découverte 2026-2 on Saturday, July 4, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. – Artemis & Globe Gallery

This new edition of Valpic Découverte will take us to the newly openedArtémis & Globe art gallery, located at 10 Rue du Grand-Place. Through the work of renowned sculptors, this gallery presents animal bronze sculptures that transport us into concepts that continually challenge us to reflect: strength, power, fragility, spirituality, agility, intelligence, society, harmony, and many others—all expressed through these poses, where aesthetics, beauty, and the questions they raise guide our emotions.

We have been invited to a private Valpic opening that will feature interviews, discussions, and live video links with the exhibiting artists, who will shed light on their emotional messages and the ways they convey them to us.

A cocktail reception will be held during the session.

We’ll meet “on site” at the La Moubra Rescue and Fire Station (CSI).Commander David Vocat and his teamwill host us for two sessions that are both informative and hands-on:

Overview, missions, areas of operation, processes, resources—a comprehensive guide to those who are our guardian angels, our lifelines, and often our heroes. We’ll also go beyond mere rhetoric by participating in hands-on firefighting drills—an experience that everyone can take part in by learning the proper techniques.

At 4:00 p.m., during the break between the two sessions, arescue helicopterwill land for us at La Moubra, at the CSI, to demonstrate its capabilities, equipment, and areas of operation—a hands-on demonstration of emergency rescue operations.

In collaboration with the CSI, sessions are limited to 20 people in order to best meet the needs of each participant.

Enjoy this exceptional experience. The CSI and Valpic are joining forces to offer you this opportunity that could save lives.
