Paléospace L'Odyssée
VILLERS-SUR-MER
A journey through the time! 165 million years ago, a warm sea covered Normandy...
Plunge into the Jurassic period! Some 160 million years ago, Normandy was beneath a warm sea... Via spectacular reconstructions and interactive discoveries that arouse the senses, Paléospace literally takes you back in time to a period when the great predators ruled supreme. Many fossils have been discovered around the 'Falaises des Vaches Noires: over 30-feet-long pliosaurs, ichthyosaurs, salt-water crocodiles, ammonites, urchins, sponges... The deposit has even unveiled the remains of dinosaurs! Ideally located directly alongside the marshes, in the vicinity of both the beach and the cliffs, Paléospace also offers an interpretation of the Greenwich meridian and the coastal marshlands.
