In Saint-Étienne there are “greens” and “le vert” and here, it's much more than a color! They cultivate an art of living in harmony with the surrounding nature. Need proof? Head to the Gorges de la Loire Nature Reserve.
At the Maison de la Réserve, in Condamines, an outlying district of Saint-Victor-sur-Loire, we explain to you why nature is sacred and how we protect it.
Exhibitions, guided tours and events scheduled throughout the year
The Maison de la Réserve immerses you in the heart of this preserved nature of the Gorges de la Loire. Fun media and animation tools allow you to learn while having fun. After your visit, take advantage of the outdoor spaces set up for picnicking, and set off to discover the heart of the Reserve through marked hiking trails.
During your excursion, you will discover exceptional panoramas on the meanders of the Gorges de la Loire here protected under landscape law. Keep your eyes open… at the bend of a rocky outcrop you might come across a royal milan or a short-toed eagle, at the crossroads of a tuft of wild thyme can be an azure butterfly even more precious than the others, or even when approaching a pond a yellow-bellied toad, a piedmont sympetrum dragonfly, remarkable and protected species of the Reserve.
