Botalpes Herbal Tea with the Lautaret Garden

Conference Scientific and technical culture
June 29, 2026Saint-Martin-d'Hères - University Campus
Botalpes Herbal Tea Talk in the Lautaret Garden
Your lecture... with or without sugar?! A BotAlpes herbal tea lecture is a bit like a scientific expedition—but without the hiking boots and with a herbal tea at the end.
Behind the name Tisane BotAlpes —which makes you want to dive into botany like a tea bag in water—lies the BotAlpes portal, which brings together the scientific and heritage treasures ofUniversité Grenoble Alpes. There, you’ll discover gems from laboratories, museums, and gardens, without needing a PhD in mountain Latin.
The next conference—you guessed it—will be about our garden and its nearly 130 years of discoveries and science!
And when the Lautaret Garden joins the conversation, we’re transported straight to 2,100 meters above sea level without leaving our cups.
Spoiler alert: we won’t just be talking about botany, but above all about the various sciences that observe, measure, and experiment with the consequences of global changes on Alpine socio-ecosystems.

With Jean-Gabriel Valay, director of the Lautaret Garden.
