Tropique du Papillon

Tropique du Papillon features a large tropical greenhouse spanning 800 square meters where hundreds of butterflies from Asia and South America fly freely among lush vegetation and exotic plants in carefully maintained conditions.

The facility was established as an educational and conservation center dedicated to promoting knowledge of tropical fauna and biodiversity through immersive experiences with butterfly life cycles and their natural habitats.

The attraction serves as an environmental education hub that promotes awareness of biodiversity conservation while fostering appreciation for the delicate ecosystems that support butterfly populations and their crucial role as pollinators.

The greenhouse is open daily from 10:00 to 19:00 with admission fees of €10 for adults and €8 for children aged 3-12, featuring wheelchair accessibility and on-site amenities including parking and dining facilities.

Visitors can witness rare butterfly births and metamorphosis processes in real-time, including the emergence of the emblematic blue Morpho butterfly, making each visit a potentially different and remarkable experience.
