    • Our greenhouse recreates different living environments for butterflies and offers them ideal conditions for their development: from 22 to 28 degrees and 80% humidity with a slight air movement. You will find butterflies from all over the world (Asia, Africa, Central and South America, China, India and Madagascar) . Their association does not usually pose problems, except for certain species with similar colors but a significant difference in size.

      The number of butterflies in our greenhouse varies greatly depending on the season: over 600, but only half are actually observable since butterflies are not flying continuously. This density, hundreds of times higher than the number of butterflies found in nature, means that adult butterflies must be constantly fed.

      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 meals, there are free access covered or shaded areas near La Serre.
      - Play area for children

      PRICES:

      • Adults €7
      • Children €5.50

      Open every day from April 6 to June 30 and from September 1 to 15, 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. From July 1 to August 31, 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

    A huge thank you for existing; this place is simply wonderful and one of a kind. The woman at reception is very friendly and provides excellent information. The gentleman and lady are truly passionate, incredibly kind, and offer helpful explanations about butterflies. You can tell they live for their butterflies. It's definitely a must-see if you're in the area. A big congratulations to you for this little corner of paradise.

    This is a lovely little attraction. Not too pricey and a fun few hours. It is very humid inside but not unbearable. Many species of butterfly. Some are tame enough to sit on your hand. I...

    2 / 5 Reviews posted by teekaymerah (Europe) on 13/07/2019

    Entrance fee bit high for what they have to offer, we truly expected the “paradise” to be much bigger and fun. They have cool butterflies and odd looking fish in fish tanks (which we wouldn’t have...
