The Water House

The Water House is a natural history museum in Yvré-l'Évêque that focuses on water, habitats, and biodiversity. The facility features exhibitions showing how water systems work and which animals depend on them to survive.

The museum was created to teach people in the region more about the natural world around them. Since then it has helped many schools and families understand their local environment better.

The museum connects visitors directly with nature through hands-on activities focused on water and local ecosystems. You experience how learning about the environment happens through exploration and discovery here.

The museum is located near Le Mans and is easy to reach by car or public transport. Guided tours and programs run throughout the year for visitors of all ages, particularly children.

What makes this place special is how indoor spaces and outdoor paths connect seamlessly, letting you move between exhibits and real nature. You observe local wildlife and plants directly in their living spaces rather than only in display cases.
