    • 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

      PRICES:

      Adults: 6.50€
      Child: 5€
      We are open:

    Greenhouse much too small and too many people. The fish tanks are not well maintained, dirty toilets. Excessive prices for 2 adults 2 children... even at the boutique level... We went around several times otherwise the visit was over in 10 minutes... On the other hand the butterflies look good, we saw several species it's great to visit once.
