Butter Island Nature Centre

The Information and Observation Centre is currently closed for renovation. It is due to reopen in spring 2024. The interpretation trail will remain accessible for visitors to explore the natural site.
Description
Grab your binoculars! Come and discover the wild flora and fauna of the Rhone on foot in the heart of a protected natural site: the Ile du Beurre.
The observation centre offers educational activities for groups (schools, leisure centres, associations, etc.) as well as for the general public on a variety of themes (listening to bird songs, discovering beavers, learning about the natural environment of the Rhône, mushroom outings, etc.).
The discovery trail and observatories, which are open all year round, allow visitors to explore the site, observe the wildlife and find out more.
