    • Our greenhouse recreates various butterfly habitats and provides ideal conditions for their development: temperatures ranging from 22 to 28 degrees Celsius and 80% humidity with gentle air circulation. You'll find butterflies from all over the world (Asia, Africa, Central and South America, China, India, and Madagascar). Keeping them together usually doesn't pose any problems, except for certain species with similar colors but significant size differences.

      The number of butterflies in our greenhouse varies greatly depending on the season: over 600, but only half are actually visible since butterflies don't fly constantly. This density, hundreds of times greater than the number of butterflies found in nature, means we have to feed the adult butterflies continuously.

      ADDITIONAL SERVICES:

      • Free parking!
      • Au Paradis du Papillon guarantees easy access to its greenhouse with the possibility of parking your vehicle near the entrance.
      • Picnic Areas
      • For your refreshments, free access covered or shaded areas await you near the greenhouse.
      • Children's playground


      PRICES:

      • Adults €7
      • Children €5.50

      Open daily from April 6 to June 30 and from September 1 to 15, 2pm to 6pm. From July 1 to August 31, 10:30am to 6:30pm.
