What to expect
You'll meet at the observation site near Fréjus and spend the first part of the evening as daylight fades. The guide introduces basic astronomy—how to find constellations, where planets sit in the night sky, what makes a galaxy different from a star cluster. Then telescopes come out. You'll peer through eyepieces at lunar craters, Saturn's rings if it's visible, Jupiter's moons. The guide points you toward fainter objects: galaxies millions of light-years away, tight clusters of ancient stars. It's less lecture, more guided discovery. Bring a warm layer and patience while your eyes adjust to darkness.
