    • Our greenhouse recreates different living environments for butterflies and offers them ideal conditions for their development: from 22 to 28 degrees and 80 % humidity with a slight movement of air. You will find butterflies from all over the world (Asia, Africa, Central and South America, China, India and Madagascar). Their association does not usually pose any problems, except for certain species with similar colors but with a significant difference in size.

      The number of butterflies present in our greenhouse varies greatly depending on the period: more than 600, but only half are actually observable since butterflies are not constantly flying. This density, hundreds of times greater than the number of butterflies found in nature, means constantly feeding the adult butterflies.

      ADDITIONAL SERVICES :

      - Free parking !
      Au Paradis du Papillon guarantees you easy access to its greenhouse with the possibility of parking your vehicle near the entrance.
      - Picnic Sites
      To eat, free access covered or shaded pitches await you near the greenhouse.
      - Playground for children

      PRICES :

      Adults : 6.50 €
      Child : 5 €
      We are open :

    N'Y ALLEZ PAS Il y a un gros souci avec cet établissement, il n'y a jamais eu aucun entretien Arrivés dans un magasin de souvenirs poussiéreux, on attend pour prendre les entrées Quand je vois le N° de téléphone à 8 chiffres sur l'affiche du magasin, je comprends qu'il y a qqch qui cloche Après un accueil glaciale par une jeune femme qui semble blasée, on entre dans la 1ère serre Plutôt jolie, végétation luxuriante, nombreux papillons colorés Allées assez étroites, on se bouscule et on abîme les végétaux, dommage Là, on commence à voir plusieurs papillons morts un peu partout D'après les écriteaux, c'est normal: l'insecte ne vit que quelques jours à quelques semaines OK mais ce serait bien à minima de les enlever régulièrement, ça peut traumatiser les mômes de voir des insectes morts On entend un bruit assourdissant : le vent souffle et tous les vitrages du haut ont été remplacés par des bâches On continue notre visite.....un bassin de poissons avec une eau..... complètement noire!!!! (voir photos) C'est aberrant voir choquant L'aquarium n'a subi aucun entretien depuis plusieurs années, (tout comme la plupart des bassins), on ne voit plus les pauvres poissons Un employé est présent dans la serre pour humidifier sols et végétaux, il fou de l'eau partout, moi compris C'est que de l'eau, rien de grave mais la moindre des choses est de s'excuser La joie de vivre se lit sur son visage.... On entre dans le second espace......sans commentaire, plusieurs poissons morts dans les bassins (voir photos), pas d'entretien non plus, des insectes moisis dans les cadres, on passe notre chemin 2ème serre avec papillons et perruches Végétation complètement à l'abandon (voir photo) Seul point positif, le prix très abordable: 7€ Je ne comprends pas que l'on puisse laisser un tel laisser-aller, c'est désolant Cet établissement est totalement laissé à l'abandon

    This place is absolutely worth visiting. Between the tropical vegetation and the thousands of butterflies, this place is reminiscent of a fairy tale. Allow at least 45 minutes to take the time to wander around and look for caterpillars and butterflies which are sometimes well hidden.

    5 / 5 Reviews posted by samuel l on 18/08/2024

    Small structure worth a visit (about 45 min visit). The butterflies are beautiful and land on us. There are also fish, birds, quails, an axolotl and other insects. Take the time to look everywhere...
