Welcome to www.orchisauvage.fr Orchisauvage is a collaborative site for collecting and sharing observations of wild orchids in mainland France. It is co-ordinated by the Fédération France Orchidées (FFO). Its main objective is to share information in order to develop a better understanding of orchids (particularly for research) as well as their conservation. Accordingly, precautions are taken to ensure that species and their habitats remain safe and secure.
