Not recommended for small children. Departure from the Tourist Office – Valréas Turn left and left again to the 2 next following roundabouts. At the end of the avenue, at the roundabout with a little olive tree, follow the roadsign for Vinsobres, then at the end take the D46 towards Vinsobres. The road goes steeply uphill with hairpin bends for 4 km winding through vineyards, truffle oaks and fruit orchards. At the Sainte Croix crossroads, in the bend, turn right towards Visan (Beautiful cross to be seen). The minor road follows the crest of the hill for 5,3 km and all the way along there are lovely views, on the left of the plateau de Vinsobres and the Baronnies hills, the Mont Ventoux and the Dentelles de Montmirail (occasionally on the right you can catch a glimpse of Valréas in the distance through the trees). 1. After a steep downhill section crossing the D191 at les Françons, turn left towards the quartier Poulidon. At the bridge, turn right towards Visan and go on the steep uphill for 1,7 km. You will come to a crossroads where you must turn right towards Visan. Have a look at the wonderful field of olive trees on the left side. The long downhill run to Visan (3,5 km) goes past vineyards, Austrian pines and truffle oaks. 2. In Visan, at the crossroads with the pharmacy facing you, turn right as far as the roundabout and then turn left into D20 towards Richerenches (7km). You can see on your right, the “montagne de la Lance”, as the backdrop of the route. Go through the village of Richerenches. 3. and as you leave the village take a left turn towards Montségur sur Lauzon. The road is surrounded by fields of lavender and aromatic herbs. Just before the bridge over the stream, the Aulière, turn right towards Grillon. 4. Keep going straight along the road (no turnings) up to the junction with the D20 from Richerenches. 5. Turn left, then in a big bend, turn left towards Grillon. You arrive in Grillon. In the “Place de la Bourgade”, take the road for Valréas and leave the village. At the last bend to the left, just past the guesthouse “Au vieux chêne”, don’t take the main road round the bend but continue straight on along the old road (so that you can avoid the main road which has lots of traffic). But still watch out for traffic on the old road. 6. At the “Stop” sign, go straight on to get back to Valréas. When you get to the town, follow the cours de Gaulle which goes up to your right and follow the tourist Office signs.

Visit the exhibits and gardens of this unusual site and learn more about the biodiversity that surrounds us. The Naturoptère is a cultural and educational center dedicated to nature and the environment. In the heart of a building designed as part of an innovative eco-architecture project, playful and scientific exhibits will enable you to take a naturalistic look at the world around you. Through discovery, observation and manipulation, you'll explore the interactions and relationships between living beings and their natural environment. Come and take a closer look! Continue your visit in the gardens, ideal places for discovering and respecting biodiversity. The semi-natural garden invites you to wander among plants that evolve with the passing of time and the seasons. It reveals a multitude of plant species valued for their uses and geographical origins. Take your time to observe the incredible richness of nature. Stroll through the various educational gardens, which encourage the conservation and observation of the associated biodiversity: the toxic plant trail, the arid garden, the rock garden, the vegetable garden, as well as the ecological pond and the phytodepuration basin. And above all, don't miss the program of workshops that offer you moments of complicity and learning with family and friends. Share in the construction of a wooden structure that will allow biodiversity to flourish in your garden, learn about local flora and fauna, whet the curiosity of toddlers or take part in a game of escapism on the premises. Join us for the many cultural and scientific events offered by the Naturoptère throughout the year: nature outings, courses, training, exhibitions, theater, music, dance shows...

Harmas Jean-Henri Fabre

Harmas Jean-Henri Fabre

Designated a "Maison des illustres" and a "Remarkable Garden", the Harmas Jean-Henri Fabre is the final resting place of naturalist Jean-Henri Fabre, the all-rounder whose life has been watched over by the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle since 1922. He moved here in 1879 and made it his open-air laboratory. The rustic farmhouse, with its pink facade and green shutters, and its one-hectare park with its Mediterranean vegetation, offer visitors an instructive and moving journey into the history of a 19th-century scientist. The family home This rustic residence has lost none of its charm. The spirit of the place has been preserved, and the historic rooms have been completely renovated, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the life of Jean-Henri Fabre, both entomologist and botanist. From the dining room to the study, imagine the daily life and world of this passionate researcher. A learned wasteland In the pleasure garden, relax on the terrace, admire the pond and flowerbeds, and linger in the vegetable garden. The part of the Harmas once given over to scrubland is home to incredible biodiversity. Explore this favorite observation ground for naturalists. And don't miss his ingenious insect study devices! A genius jack-of-all-trades Three modern theme rooms sketch the portrait and retrace the singular life of J.-H. Fabre, who combined scientific rigor, literary talent, pedagogical skill and artistic sensibility. Discover an abundance of work, the itinerary of a man firmly rooted in his time, and the influence of an extraordinary self-taught man. Well worth the detour Let yourself be guided by the signposting and sound system, which creates a complicity with Aglaé, J.-H. Fabre's daughter. Her anecdotes plunge you into memories of her father. Other surprises include a graphic novel dedicated to the naturalist, and a screening of his short film La cigale... A visit to be savored without moderation! One destination, one ticket, two sites The Harmas Jean-Henri Fabre and the Naturoptère, two adjoining partner sites, offer a unique encounter with biodiversity. Push open the door to the estate of a great figure in the natural sciences and enjoy a rich and original visit. And let yourself be tempted by the cultural and educational center's activities designed for all ages.
