Serignan and Jean Henri FABRE

Serignan

Among the famous men of Provence, Jean Henri Fabre is one of the most charming. Naturalist and entomologist, his house and garden in the village of Serignan have been preserved as they were when he lived and worked there. Today the site, the "Harmas of Jean Henri Fabre" belongs to the Natural History Museum.

Here you will find his herbarium, his work table, his fossil collection. His botanical garden retains its wild character (in Provençal, "harmas" means uncultivated field). In the spring, it is a wonder, when all the wildflowers are in bloom.

Every year in April, the village of Serignan organizes a meeting of those who work with rare plants, and gardeners who wish to better understand and preserve our natural environment. Exhibitions, commercial shows, encounters and conferences, outings in the nearby hills help participants to discover the Mediterranean habitat, and the colors and scents of Provence, wildflowers, shrubs and herbs.
