    • 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 movement of air. 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 any problems, except for certain species with similar colors but with a significant difference in size.

      The number of butterflies present in our greenhouse varies greatly depending on the period: more than 600, but only half are actually observable since butterflies are not constantly flying. This density, hundreds of times greater than the number of butterflies found in nature, means constantly feeding the adult butterflies.

      ADDITIONAL SERVICES:

      - Free parking !
      Au Paradis du Papillon guarantees you easy access to its greenhouse with the possibility of parking your vehicle near the entrance.
      - Picnic Sites
      To eat, free access covered or shaded pitches await you near the greenhouse.
      - Playground for children

    Great and affordable family activity in a very well mantained butterfly habitat. The place feels like a family bussiness and it’s immediately clear to the visitor that the main priority is the animals welfare. The person meeting the customers at the entrance is very welcoming and speaks perfect English. You can have soft drinks and there’s a small gift store. The visit constitutes a good option to complement a day trip to Sanguinet, Biscarrosse or the Arcachon areas.

    Really nice experience for the nature lovers out there. The park is small but will keep you entertained for about an hour. Beware it is very hot and humid inside, especially with a facemask. Recommend it on a rainy day!

    The Paradise is small but offers a lovely opportunity to wander through the well loved gardens and view the butterflies. The staff were helpful and happy to share their knowledge.

    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...
