Description

Explore the permanent exhibition "Haut-Jura, Terre Vivante!"
Through playful, colorful, sensory and interactive installations, discover the Haut-Jura in all its facets: its landscapes, wetlands, forest, agriculture...

Then discover the "Song of the Risoux Forest" sound immersion. The sounds of the forest environment, the feelings of forest lovers and soundscapes will plunge you into the Risoux, over a time span spanning 8 decades... a must-try!

Finish your tour with a visit to a remarkable piece of Jura heritage architecture: the Grenier-Fort! Located in the garden, far from the farmhouse, this old-fashioned safe was used to store the family's most precious possessions.


The Maison du Parc garden also features picnic tables and a relaxation area.
Electrically-assisted bicycles can be recharged during opening hours, and there's a small lock-up area where you can park your bike under cover (bring your own padlock).

To take full advantage of what the Maison du Parc has to offer, we advise you not to arrive after 5pm.
Children aged 6 to 14 can discover the exhibition in a fun way with the help of tour booklets.
