Harmas de Fabre, Botanical garden and historic residence in Sérignan-du-Comtat, France.

Harmas de Fabre is a museum with a botanical garden in Sérignan-du-Comtat, Vaucluse, dedicated to the entomologist Jean-Henri Fabre. Fabre built the house in 1880 and set up his laboratory in its left wing, keeping the rest as living quarters. The garden holds several paths, a basin, a kitchen garden, a fountain, a washhouse, 20 historic trees and more than 500 plant species, some planted by Fabre himself.

Jean-Henri Fabre acquired the property in 1879 and used it as an open-air laboratory to study insects and plants until his death in 1915. This period established the site as a center for direct field observation in natural science.

The garden reflects Fabre's passion for nature through carefully chosen plantings and pathways designed for exploration. Visitors can sense how a naturalist structured daily life around direct observation of the living world.

The site is best explored at a slow pace, allowing time to observe details in each area. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended since the terrain is uneven and paths wind through planted sections.

Fabre's work table had a single drawer, which he deliberately turned backwards. On the mantelpiece stand a globe given by his publisher Charles Delagrave and a clock given by the girls of the Saint-Martial institution in Avignon, thanking him for the lessons he gave them.
