Historique
""L'Harmas (du terme provençal harme : terrain en friche) a été acheté par le naturaliste Jean-Henri Fabre en 1879. La maison avait été construite en 1842 pour le général de brigade César Hilarion de Dianoux. Elle est accompagnée d'un jardin enclos de murs. La maison et le jardin sont imprégnés de la personnalité du naturaliste, qui y vécut de 1877 à sa mort en 1915 et y écrivit la quasi totalité de ses " souvenirs entomologiques ".""

History
The Harmas (from the Provençal term harme: fallow land) was purchased by the naturalist Jean-Henri Fabre in 1879. The house had been built in 1842 for the brigadier general César Hilarion de Dianoux. It is accompanied by a garden enclosed by walls. The house and garden are imbued with the personality of the naturalist, who lived there from 1877 until his death in 1915 and wrote almost all of his "entomological memories" there.
