The 0 Euro souvenir note program, administered through EuroSouvenir and sanctioned by the European Central Bank's commemorative framework, allows licensed cultural institutions to issue legal-looking notes with genuine security features — printed by accredited security printers — at zero face value. Oberthur Fiduciaire, one of the few firms with ECB authorization to produce these, handles the bulk of the French institutional issues. The notes are sold at a premium, typically €2–5, and are not legal tender.
Paléospace is a paleontology museum in Boulogne-sur-Mer, Normandy, known for its coastal Jurassic fossil sites.
