It's a collection of wasp nests assembled by the late Gérard Gagnon, a resident of Laverlochère. He holds the Guinness record for the largest number of nests. The collection contains over 1000 nests. The museum displays over 700 of them, each more original than the last. Wasp's nests are real natural decorations of the forest. They can be composed of many different colors, influenced by the materials used. Come and discover a collection unique in the world, and learn more about the life of wasps and the design of a nest. Our guides and animators will make your visit as enjoyable and rewarding as possible.
