The Harmas of Jean-Henri Fabre

Renovation of the Jean-Henri Fabre Harmas visitor circuit

Nestling near Orange, in Sérignan-du-Comtat, this site is run by the prestigious Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (MNHM). Labelled a "Maison des Illustres", this garden is a real tribute to the entomologist Jean-Henri Fabre, offering visitors a unique immersion in his habitat and botanical garden. To enhance understanding of Fabre's work and make the visit more captivating and narrative, the Harmas worked with Empreinte and a different graphic artist and designer to create new signage for the visit. Our work includes interpretation lectern and directional elements, making it easier for you to explore this enchanting place. For this project, we opted for quality materials such as stainless steel and aluminium, ensuring that they are always available to the visitor. The signage is durable and aesthetically pleasing, and preserves the environmental integrity of the site thanks to an innovative installation system that does not require the pouring of concrete, thus preserving the natural surroundings of this remarkable garden.
