Born near Bibracte in 1740, Jeanne Baret, explorer and botanist, was the first woman to be identified as having circumnavigated the globe, disguised as a man, on the flute "L'Etoile", with Bougainville's expedition. We propose to spend a day in her footsteps. The programme includes lectures (from 2.30 to 5.30 pm) and a theatrical encounter (8 pm).

Theatre

At 8pm: Jeanne Baret, a woman around the world, a play written and directed by Jacques Arnould.

Note that conferences are also proposed between 2.30 and 5.30 pm.
