Step into their world!
Just 15 minutes from the Millau Viaduct, in the heart of the Aveyron region, enjoy an exceptional family day out exploring the extraordinary world of insects, nature, and biodiversity. In 2027, get ready for new adventures!
Inside, in a 2,400 m² space with striking architecture, divided into nearly 15 themed areas, encounter more than 40 living species from all corners of the world. Watch the ballet of multicolored butterflies in the tropical greenhouse, follow the procession of hardworking ants, and observe the comings and goings of foraging bees. Can you spot the camouflaged stick insects and avoid the traps set by carnivorous plants? Step into a different world at the 3D theater and explore the giant interactive wall!
Outside, take the Biodiversity Trail and follow in the footsteps of Jean-Henri Fabre as you discover habitats specially designed to welcome small creatures. Then dive into the fantastical world of the Insect Carnival, where games, costumes, and music await you alongside tiny creatures transformed into veritable metal giants! Finally, let yourself be amazed by the outdoor exhibits, where science, nature, and art come together.
Every day, our passionate educators and breeders invite you to discover the fascinating world of insects through guided tours and activities, or hands-on experiences you can enjoy on your own! During every school break, a special program tailored to the season enhances your visit. These are all opportunities to marvel, learn, and gain a deeper understanding of—and to love and protect—these tiny creatures, which are often overlooked yet essential to our planet!
For lunch, the park’s panoramic restaurant and summer snack bar feature local products. Designated picnic areas, playgrounds, and a gift shop are available for your enjoyment.
At the Cité, things are buzzing all year round—follow our latest news on our website and social media!
