This event has passed!
A day to discover yourself, discover 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 on the banks of the lotus pond. Founded in 1593 by Henry IV, Montpellier's Jardin des Plantes is the oldest botanical garden in France and covers nearly 5 hectares. It has been classified as a historic site and protected as a historic monument ever since. A must-see!
