Dans la peau des premiers paysans français

As part of the Decentralised Archaeological Film Festival, come and see the documentary “Dans la peau des premiers paysans français” (In the Footsteps of France’s First Farmers), directed by Stéphane Jacques and co-produced by the CNRS and Drôle de Trame, at the Théâtre Monsigny.

This film takes us on an archaeological adventure in the footsteps of our very first farming ancestors. 7,500 years ago, having come from the Near East, they crossed seas and mountains and sparked a revolution on French soil: that of livestock rearing and crop cultivation. Both adventurers and builders, they laid the first foundations of villages. On our soil, they brought prehistory to an end. Screening organised as part of the “Fête de la science” 2026.
