Solidarity and mutual aid Protecting nature and the environment Ile-De-France

Through its strategic position, the OPIE, established in 1969, conducts information, awareness-raising, training consultancy and livestock activities aimed primarily at the protection and maintenance of the biodiversity of entomofauna through the management of its habitat. In order for the general public to be more affected by the world of insects, a permanent exhibition is presented on its premises, accompanied by vivaria, audio-visual projections and tours commented on with phasmes, crickets or beetles among so many others.

This association houses an animal shelter and offers a boarding service for dogs.

The center offers introductory lessons for adults and children, as well as introductory lessons on shetlands from age 3. It also offers horse boarding services all year round. For those wishing to improve their riding skills, the center organizes courses for young and old alike. A competent team is on hand to help riders pass their galops. The center is approved by the French Ministry of Youth and Sports and by the French Equestrian Federation (FFE), enabling it to organize outdoor competitions in show jumping, dressage and endurance. Throughout the year, the center also offers in-house activities for young and old alike. It also welcomes groups of disabled people, schoolchildren and leisure centers for equestrian activities.
