Study for an educational trail about the 1909 earthquake
at Lambesc and surrounding area
|
| |
 |
|
A
strong earthquake hit the Lambesc area on 11 June
1909. It caused 46 deaths and some villages still
bear the marks of this catastrophic event. On
the eve of the centenary of the biggest earthquake
recorded in mainland France during the 20th Century,
there is a good opportunity to get the general
public to learn more about this story and to raise
awareness of seismic risks in Provence. Continuing
work undertaken in the area last year, you will
design and develop an outline for a practical
pedagogical guide to enable the general public
to find out about the landscape and general territory
from the perspective of the 1909 earthquake.

Desired skills: Geography, history, cartography,
natural hazards, museography, communication, design.
Working
language: French
Partners organisation: Local
authorities and local associations, BRGM (earth
sciences research organisation).
