Color Conference: A wild palette inspired by the colors of the Maures Massif

What if nature were the most talented artist of all? Hosted by naturalist Marjorie Ughetto, this "color-themed talk" invites you on a visual journey into the heart of the Maures massif. Far more than mere decorative elements enhancing the landscape's beauty, colors play a fundamental role in the living world. From iridescent butterflies and birds with brilliant plumage to the wildflowers of the Mediterranean scrubland—behind every hue lie astonishing strategies for seduction, protection, and survival. Blending scientific discovery, visual wonder, and an exploration of local natural heritage, this lively and engaging talk weaves together naturalist observations, historical anecdotes, and traditional know-how. It is a true journey into the heart of Mediterranean biodiversity. An invitation to see the nature around us in a whole new light.
