L'île aux papillons, Butterfly greenhouse in La Guérinière, France.
The greenhouse spans a large space filled with exotic plants where hundreds of butterflies from sixty different species fly among visitors.
The establishment grew to become the largest tropical butterfly greenhouse in France, located on Noirmoutier Island in the Atlantic region.
The facility educates visitors through documentary films and observation areas that showcase the complete metamorphosis cycle of butterflies.
The greenhouse opens daily from April to September, with adult tickets at 9.60 euros and children tickets at 7 euros for ages three to eleven.
Visitors walk through narrow paths in a temperature-controlled environment where Atlas butterflies and Blue Morphos float freely around tropical vegetation.
