Vaonis

Vaonis turns 10.

Ten years. One sky. A decade among the stars.

A decade ago, we set out to make the wonders of the night sky accessible to everyone. This October, we're celebrating that journey at Château de Flaugergues, a place where centuries of history meet an open, star-filled sky.

Two days of conversations, discoveries, and shared moments with the community that made this possible.
