Welcome to Aude, a country traversed by forests of holm oaks and garrigue plants. During an excursion, the distracted walker notices well the presence of lavender and thyme, which their virtues and scents have made known well beyond the Mediterranean coast. But is this the only plant wealth in the region? Certainly not ! In total, more than 500 species populate these limestone massifs with stony soils, bathed by the hot sun of the South. It is this richness, and that of the associated know-how, that the "Maison botanique" association agrees to rediscover to prevent it from being forgotten. First, by telling the story of the Mediterranean landscape through time and human activities. Then by offering a year-round entertainment and environmental education program. Did you know, for example, that the garrigue has everything you need to make a gourmet tasting or a beauty oil? Let yourself be tempted by the discovery!
