MAISON DE LA VALLÉE

The association offers guided tours on the theme of botany and welcomes groups to raise awareness about the environment, sustainable development and biodiversity. Day or half day walks are organised to discover the Floristic nature reserve of Eyne. In the spring, she pare, myosotis, renoncules and gentians. Summer, rhododendrons and lilies. This flora is also made up of rare species, sometimes endemic, whose area of development is restricted to the territory of the valley alone. These various species have been studied for nearly three centuries and today it serves as references to botanists around the world. It is from here that the thyme, gentian, oregano, or other medicinal plants were used by the famous apothecaries of the Spanish enclave of Llivia. One afternoon in the valley of Eyne is an enchantment, you will learn to recognize the different species, feel them, touch them, even taste them sometimes. La Maison de la Vallée also organizes archaeological walks «in the footsteps of the first pastors» which will lead you through the mountain to the dolmens, menhirs and a cave, with remnants of pottery, witness to the occupation of the territory almost 6 000 years ago.
