Come discover the eventful history of our region with paleontologist Danielle Decrouez.

Faucigny, a magnificent Alpine region, is a place where natural phenomena can turn into catastrophic events. Floods, flash floods, landslides, rockfalls, and earthquakes: these risks are part of the very fabric of this mountain, the “roof of Europe.” During this lecture, part of the “Veillées de l’éveil” series, Ms. Danielle Decrouez, a paleontologist and honorary director of the Geneva Museum of the History of Science, will provide a comprehensive overview of the natural hazards that have always existed and will always exist in our region. Dive into 10,000 years of geological history! Significant and sometimes little-known events that have occurred in Haute-Savoie and its surroundings will be explained in detail: the Viuz-en-Sallaz flood, the formation of Lake Vallon, the Arve River’s violent outbursts, the threats posed by the Tête Rousse glacier’s water pocket, and the major rockfalls at Salève and Dérochoir. Understanding these phenomena is essential for living better in the mountains. Don’t miss this “Veillée” to shed light on the powerful forces that shape our landscape!
