Fabre is best known for writing Souvenirs Entomologiques, a series of educational volumes that described in detail the lives of insects and their place in nature, something Micropolis demonstrates.
Patrons enter through a cleft cut into a rock-like facade of the park.
This opening gradually increases to 13 feet in height, like cracks from the point of view of ants and beetles. This insect gallant asks his partner to dance at the Micropolis theme park in south central France, where people are given a bug's-eye view. Inside the park proper, green metal stalks support giant brass flowers that form the roof of the structure, towering above visitors as they would over the tiny denizens of a flowerbed. Natural and artificial light is blended to produce shafts of light as seen from a garden floor. An audio system pipes in the chirping of crickets, and ducts waft the scents of field and flowers through the park.
