The Harmas is a museum dedicated to the memory of Jean-Henri Fabri, a 19th-century French scientist and man of letters. The property that can be visited today includes his house and a garden of about one hectare.
l'Harmas, the "wasteland" that surrounded the house of the famous entomologist Jean Henri Fabre, has kept only the Provençal name of this arid land. Today, visitors discover a veritable Eden where more than 500 plant species and historical trees are listed! Discover the fascinating universe of an extraordinary scientist and poet.

This refuge owes its name to the arid, uncultivated land surrounding it: a "harmas" in Provençal. In 1878, entomologist Jean-Henri Fabre settled here. It was here that he wrote his world-famous work: Les souvenirs entomologiques. Today, a veritable Eden has replaced the arid land. Here, over five hundred species of plant live side by side. In a pond, aquatic fauna and flore thrive. As for the house, both home and study, it houses his watercolors and herbariums, as well as his collections of insects pinned in glass boxes. To visit the Harmas is to meet the scientist and poet Jean-Henri Fabre, who, although famous as far away as Japan, paradoxically remains too confidential in France.
