Ecotourism in the Trièves

Introduction

Welcome to Terre Vivante a special and magical place
Far away from hectic urban life, come and enjoy magnificent landscapes, combining nature and ecological gardens.

Terre Vivante Eco-Centre is a special place where wilderness and cultivated land meet, at the heart of a 50 hectares of forest at 750 m of altitude.

For the past 25 years we have been experimenting with organic gardening and ecology on a day to day basis. We provide an environment fostering discoveries, as well as all the necessary tools and equipment for visitors, interns and pupils to learn and practice…

The centre is a place for sharing and passing on knowledge and there are many reasons to pay a visit:
-for a workshop of 1 to 5 days
-for a school trip
-for a visit on your own or guided
-for a company’s meeting

A room with snacks is available on site for your comfort.
