The Paléospace of Villers-sur-Mer (Calvados) is against the proposed nature reserve at the Vaches Noires cliffs, on the Côte Fleurie. The museum, which recovered the Hurtrelle fossil collection, has been up in arms against this measure for several months.

“The free collection of fossils is decisive for science, for French museums like ours, to continue our mission of transmitting knowledge,” asserts Karine Boutillier.
