Welcom’UM Culture: Exclusive Tours and Escape Games

A day to get to know yourself, explore the university, and discover the city.

Exclusive Tour of the Jardin des Plantes

Visitors come here to stroll in the shade of the bamboo grove or along the shaded paths of the English garden, or to daydream by the lotus pond. Founded in 1593 by Henry IV, the Montpellier Botanical Garden is the oldest botanical garden in France and covers nearly 5 hectares. It has been designated a historic site and protected as a Historic Monument ever since. A must-see!
