The Little Naturalists

Since its creation at the beginning of the 20th century, the L’Heure joyeuse library cultivates young children's awakening to the mysteries of the living world. This event highlights careful observation of species, reminding everyone that each child carries within them a passionate scientist. Through a carefully selected collection of illustrations and specimens, the route transforms visitors into attentive observers of biodiversity. The shelves of this pioneering venue become a learning ground where drawing is used to decipher the secrets of animal and plant life. It’s an ideal opportunity to learn together about the art of field sketching and to look with fresh eyes at the botanical and zoological wonders that populate our daily lives.
