The Butterfly Farm, Butterfly house in Saint Martin.
The interior garden displays hundreds of butterflies from both local Caribbean species and tropical varieties flying freely among flowering plants and trees.
The facility opened in the early 1990s as part of a network of butterfly conservation centers across the Caribbean islands and French territories.
Educational programs inform visitors about butterfly biology, metamorphosis stages, and the importance of preserving these insects in Caribbean ecosystems.
Visitors can explore the garden through guided tours available in French and English, with optimal viewing conditions during morning hours.
The center maintains a specific temperature and humidity level to replicate exact conditions needed for butterfly species from both Saint Martin and Guadeloupe.

Saint-Martin is a Caribbean island divided between France and the Netherlands. The coastline features white sand beaches such as Orient Bay, Maho Beach, and Baie Rouge, while smaller islands like Pinel and Tintamarre sit just offshore. The interior rises to Pic Paradis, which stands 424 meters (1,391 feet) high, and is protected by land and marine nature reserves. Historic fortifications including Fort Louis and Fort Amsterdam date from the colonial period. The island shows traces of pre-Columbian settlement, including the Moho petroglyphs and the Hope Estate archaeological site. Museums in Marigot and Philipsburg document the island's history, while the Marigot Market offers local produce and crafts. Grand Case is known for its restaurants, and places like the Butterfly Farm and Parotte Ville Bird Sanctuary provide encounters with wildlife.
