JEP 2026 – Get an exclusive preview of the new exhibition at the Archives départementales du Nord!
Immerse yourself in a fascinating dialogue between the people of the Nord and their environment. From the medieval period to the industrial age, this exhibition reveals how our view of nature has evolved, shifting between exploitation, concern, and growing awareness. Through exceptional documents from the Archives départementales du Nord, trace how highly local concerns—flooding, pollution, and land use—gradually became a major collective issue that would lead to the emergence of modern ecological thought. Spanning the 13th century to the 1970s, this original journey reveals how environmental issues have always been part of our history, continually reshaped by economic and societal change. A valuable perspective for better understanding the complex relationship we have with the natural world today. Saturday from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Self-guided visit (no booking required)
