The Naturoptère

Visit the exhibits and gardens of this unusual site and learn more about the biodiversity that surrounds us.

The Naturoptère is a cultural and educational center dedicated to nature and the environment.


In the heart of a building designed as part of an innovative eco-architecture project, playful and scientific exhibits will enable you to take a naturalistic look at the world around you. Through discovery, observation and manipulation, you'll explore the interactions and relationships between living beings and their natural environment.

Come and take a closer look!

Continue your visit in the gardens, ideal places for discovering and respecting biodiversity.
The semi-natural garden invites you to wander among plants that evolve with the passing of time and the seasons. It reveals a multitude of plant species valued for their uses and geographical origins. Take your time to observe the incredible richness of nature.
Stroll through the various educational gardens, which encourage the conservation and observation of the associated biodiversity: the toxic plant trail, the arid garden, the rock garden, the vegetable garden, as well as the ecological pond and the phytodepuration basin.

And above all, don't miss the program of workshops that offer you moments of complicity and learning with family and friends. Share in the construction of a wooden structure that will allow biodiversity to flourish in your garden, learn about local flora and fauna, whet the curiosity of toddlers or take part in a game of escapism on the premises.
