Learn all about Camargue rice growing in a special educational centre. You will be welcomed by a family of passionate rice farmers.
The Maison du Riz is an educational centre where visitors can learn about how rice growing has evolved from when it first began in Camargue to the present day, in three different areas: a space devoted to specific rice cultivation equipment, a space dedicated to the grain of rice and the various stages of processing, and a small shop. The Rozière family, passionate rice farmers, will be delighted to welcome you.

- First and foremost, it's a family story, that of the Rozière family, whose name was predestined to have its feet in the water of a rice field. For several generations, they have farmed 500 hectares of Camargue land.
To share their passion, they have created an educational museum. The museum features equipment specific to rice-growing. The various stages in the post-harvest processing of rice are explained through visuals, machinery and demonstrations. Depending on the time of year, a visit to a small rice field close to the building provides an insight into this very specific crop. Finally, there's a store selling souvenirs to take home with you.
After this visit, you'll never look at a grain of rice in the same way again.
