About this event
Astronomers from the Association Française d'Astronomie set up telescopes in twenty Paris parks for free public stargazing sessions running into the small hours. No equipment needed — just turn up to look at the Moon's craters, planets and deep-sky objects. The run coincides with the Nuits des Étoiles national weekend (7–9 Aug) and a partial solar eclipse viewing on 12 Aug at Parc André-Citroën.
