In search of life a ground level
Mante religieuse  

Based in Saint-Léons, in the heart of the entomologist’s homeland, Micropolis aims to be unique, a place where man finds himself plunged, through exceptional scenography, into the world of insects, in a both instructive and emotional experience. Half way between a museum and a theme park, you will find eleven themed exhibitions, all interactive. Micropolis will lead you into the minute world of "life at ground level". Unique in Europe, between Rodez and Millau, Micropolis invites you into a living world, infinitely small. Everything is organised so that adults and children alike can discover this fascinating world.
