Discover the Serre Amazonienne during your camping holidays
This huge 2,600 square metre space features more than 3,500 plants from the Amazon. Glass walls naturally light the greenhouse, which is watered by daily rains and thunderstorms that occur every half hour. Amazing! The greenhouse is entered through a huge 200 m² outdoor plant wall, which alone contains 4,500 plants. A pathway allows visitors to explore the site and discover surprising landscapes of jungle and waterfalls. You can meet tropical animals such as red ibises and sometimes come face to face with a monkey. The greenhouse's panoramic restaurant, the Amazon, offers a bird's eye view of the jungle.
The greenhouse raises awareness of an endangered ecosystem: to discover this environment is to become aware of its fragility, the danger it faces and the urgency to act.
