Louis Espinassous

Louis Espinassous (1951) is an educator, biologist, ethnologist, novelist, storyteller and now a shepherd, working in nature education. He is known, among other things, for his books for children and his works on nature animation.

Louis Espinassous lives in the Ossau Valley in Béarn, the very heartlands of the béret. He worked for twenty years as a technical and educational advisor in Nature Education in the Pyrenees National Park.

During these years, he has been able to combine biological and ethnographic research while working with many audiences as a nature educator / mountain guide. He leads writing workshops to develop students' free expression. Furthermore, in the context of the COVID-19 health crisis, he suggested holding classes in nature, a solution for the deconfinement school. Espinassous advocates an education closer to nature, the latter disappearing in favour of "security, hygiene, asepsis of the living".
