This free event invites children and adults alike to discover science through experiments, games and activities suitable for everyone.

A fun and educational outing in Lomagne

The Fête de la Science is a national event dedicated to the discovery and sharing of knowledge. In Beaumont-de-Lomagne, the event takes place from 10 am to 5 pm at the Maison Fermat, an iconic venue dedicated to mathematics and the history of Pierre de Fermat.

For the 2026 edition, the event will be highlighting, in particular, the links between science, cooking and food. Visitors can take part in a range of activities designed to make science more tangible, fun and accessible.

Activities for young and old alike

Throughout the day, there are a number of activities on offer for visitors:

• maths games suitable for different age groups
• scientific experiments based on cooking
• hands-on and discovery workshops
• activities centred on connected devices
• a lecture and a concert

This programme enables families to share a unique experience whilst learning. Children can carry out experiments and ask questions, whilst adults discover science from a different perspective, moving away from purely theoretical approaches.

Discover Maison Fermat

The Maison Fermat is situated in the heart of Beaumont-de-Lomagne, the birthplace of the famous mathematician Pierre de Fermat. This cultural centre offers an interactive exploration of mathematics and its role in our everyday lives.
