The Butterfly Museum in Saint-Tropez

Discover ‘the house of the butterflies’, where these delicate creatures have been captured in time and beautifully displayed in an otherworldly collection bursting with colour.

The sweetness of a Provencal summer

Just moments from the Place des Lices, this quietly captivating house-museum was founded by painter Dany Lartigue. Home to nearly 35,000 butterflies – including rare and endangered species – its collection is delicately arranged in glass cases, set against painted scenes created by the artist himself.


Part science, part art, the visit reveals a world of intricate beauty and gentle wonder. The immersive displays speak to all ages, offering a moment of calm away from the Riviera’s rhythm – unexpected, meticulous, and quietly moving.


Our Concierge can arrange your transfer from the Château, whether by Mini Moke or Rolls-Royce, for a seamless visit.
