Numerous activities are organized in the field of paleontology, mineralogy and geology in general :

  Thanks to the obtaining licenses, the visits of quarries, abandoned or in activity, always had a lot of success.
  The Field trips organized by the CMPB are indicated one month in advance in the LITHORAMA magazine and in this web site (new activities).
