La Ferme aux Papillons

La Ferme aux Papillons is a butterfly center with greenhouses where tropical species from Africa, Asia, and America fly freely among visitors and plants. The facility houses hundreds of butterflies in controlled environments designed to replicate their natural habitats.

The site was founded as a research and breeding facility focused on butterfly conservation. Over time it has become involved in regional biodiversity preservation efforts.

The center displays butterflies in their daily behavior as they feed on flowers and fruit throughout the greenhouse. Visitors observe how these insects move and interact in the warm, humid environment where they live.

Wear sturdy footwear since the greenhouse areas can be damp and slippery as humidity levels are maintained. Morning visits are better for observing butterfly activity and getting good light for viewing and photography.

Butterflies regularly land directly on visitors' shoulders, hands, and hair while exploring the greenhouse. This close interaction happens because the insects become accustomed to human presence in the stable, temperature-controlled space.
