A nature observation and activity space!
Venture into a living environment where plants of all kinds grow alongside creepy crawlies and open-air actvities. Set off to find hedgehogs, explore the observational hive or the bee house to learn about the role they play in nature. Make the most of our play areas open to all to have fun digging, climbing or scampering about! The Garden is the ideal place for unwinding, recharging your batteries and learning while you explore.
Please note that the Garden may have to close to the public in bad weather: no getting blown away in galeforce winds please!
Did you know?
Humans and honey go back a long way! It was already consumed back in prehistoric times, when hunters-gatherers roamed the Earth.
Some experiments
The Bee House
Uncover the secrets of these fascinating insects. Find out about life in a hive, how bees behave and our relationship, as humans, with them. As you leave, don't forget to have a look at our hives on the terrace!
The vegetable patch and the plants
All sorts of plants grow in the Garden: trees, vegetables, herbs, etc. Over the seasons, watch the plants grow and develop, smell the different culinary herbs and check out our green paths.
The Sound Park
The Garden calls on all of our senses! Have fun creating different sounds using the unusual instruments: the arbrasson (sound sculpture), singing stone or the whistling cushions, etc.
