LES PLANTIERS , Gard – Cultural heritage

About

Discover an eco-museum in an old mill, with a fun exhibition for everyone. Children and adults alike can take an indoor and outdoor tour to learn more about this important part of our daily lives!

In the heart of the Vallée Borgne, in the village’s old mill, the Maison de l’Eau has naturally found its place. Around this witness to the past, a modern and entertaining exhibition presents water in the Cévennes. Mister Beaver, the mascot, invites young and old to a more unusual visit, combining questions, games and experiments…

An interpretive trail completes the visit with a presentation of some of the tree species native to the Cévennes. This is a fun walk for the whole family, during which you’ll come face-to-face with the birds that pass between forest and river. Equipped with a pair of binoculars, you can follow the signposted path to learn how to observe and recognize birds (also downloadable from our website).

In addition to visits, the Maison de l’Eau also offers environmental education sessions for schoolchildren, leisure centers and the general public, as well as nature outings (on the trail of the beaver, the otter, the little people of the water…), walks, visits to the village…
Come and stroll along the béal, let yourself be lulled by the sound of water on the mill wheels!

There are 3 interpretation trails in the Vallée Borgne area, including one on the route of the Maison de l’Eau des Plantiers.
