Tour of the Cité de l'Abeille and the Casa dard d'art

As professional beekeepers for 40 years, we welcome visitors to our site both to purchase our products and to tour our facilities and beehives. The worker bees in this small, family-friendly, and welcoming community gather mountain honey from within a 25-kilometer radius, some of which is used to make specialties such as chocolate, nougat, honey bread, honey spreads, sorbets, and pastries. The apple juice served as a refreshment comes from the orchard, whose flowers benefit from visits by pollinating bees. A guided tour led by the beekeeper—featuring glass-fronted hives, a slideshow, a museum of antique hives, the honey house, and the opening of a live hive—lets you learn “everything” about bees, honey, and beekeeping! A shelter, as well as a playground and picnic area, are available for visitors. Tours in July and August at 4:00 p.m. and on weekends by appointment. Off-season: available at any time by appointment. By appointment, we offer a workshop on beeswax: making candles and shaping wax—“From Mummy to Candle.” See our website for a detailed schedule of activities: www.lacitedelabeille.fr & www.lacasadarddart.fr The 15th Insect Festival will take place on August 21, 22, and 23, 2025. You can enjoy a snack or have a picnic here. Picnic shelter for 50 people.
