Situated at the heart of the Catalan Pyrenees Regional Nature Park, the Eyne Valley, listed as a national nature reserve, well deserves its nickname of valley of flowers. Well known by botanists, this protected area is celebrated for its remarkable floral diversity. More than 500 plants, many of which are native species, are found here! This incredible flora includes the Pyrenean lily and the glacier buttercup, not forgetting the Adonis and the Pyrenean Rush...Whether you are passionate about botany, a wild flower lover, or a devoted rambler, the months of June to August are the best months for enjoying the innumerable flowering plants of this enchanting region.
At the House of the Eyne Valley (la Maison de la Vallée d'Eyne), there is an ethnobotanic garden, open from June to September, which showcases the valley and more generally the Catalan Pyrenees. This gives people the opportunity to familiarise themselves with local plants, whether they be edible, poisonous or medicinal, and to learn more about the relationship between man and plants down the centuries!
