An invitation to travel through “Whale Civilization

The kick-off for summer talks has finally arrived! For the first gathering of the season, scheduled for July 6, Christine Gilliet will present “Whale Civilization” at the Centre Archéo Topo in Les Bergeronnes.

Christine Gilliet is a journalist and editor. Founder of her own microentreprise Mots et Marées, she has collaborated with Whales Online for many years.
