Welcome to Terre vivante, a magical and majestic setting.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, enjoy this place of grandiose landscapes, a blend of nature and ecological gardens. The Centre Terre Vivante is a unique place where wilderness and cultivated areas come together, in the heart of a 50-hectare forest estate at an altitude of 750 m.
For almost 45 years, we have been putting organic gardening and ecology into practice on a daily basis. We offer a setting that facilitates discovery, and provide visitors, trainees and groups with all the equipment and tools they need to practice and learn.
