The museum’s exterior fittings are an integral part of the Scientific and Cultural Project of Maison Rouge – Musée des vallées cévenoles. Created by the ethnobotanist Alain Renaux on an area of , the public garden and a wooded part of the park are complementary to the collections of the museum and representative of the plants formerly used daily in the Cévennes. In the park, about twenty trees, some of which were used in carpentry and cabinetmaking: black poplar, beech, ash, birch, cherry or hawthorn... Others (wicker, ash, chestnut) were used to make tool handles, small tools for harvesting chestnuts and domestic objects in basketry. Many plants were part of the ordinary of the Cévenols and were known for their playful, medicinal and veterinary, food or tinctorial uses. Some toxic plants were also chosen for educational purposes.
