Domaine de la Mosson + My Favorites
Construction on Domaine de la Mosson began in 1728. It was established by state treasurer Jospeh Bonnier, and remained an impressive folly until his financial ruin 30 years after it's initial construction began. The building then was converted into a soap factory until the city of Montpellier purchased it in 1982. All that remains today of the original construction is a Ventian-style pavillion, and a 100 metre long water channel. A large park is also located here.

Jardin des Plantes, Le + My Favorites
Le Jardin des Plantes was created in 1593, and is regarded as the oldest botanical garden in the country. Originally, it was a research centre for the faculty of medicine, but today it is intended more for relaxation. Both foreign and indigineous species of flora are found here, and the garden has numerous paths and trails leading throughout. A duck pond, bamboo garden, rock garden, and Orangery are also located here. Address: 163, rue Auguste-Broussonnet | Montpellier | 34090 Tel: +33 4 67 63 43 22
Château "la Piscine" + My Favorites
Château "la Piscine" was built to be a retreat for the wealthy in the 18th century, but is unique in that, unlike others of the time, Château "la Piscine" was constructed in the centre of the city. The Château was comissioned for the president of the Cour des Comptes, Joseph Philibert of Belleval. Visitors can no longer visit the Château itself, but can admire it from the outside, and partake in the stunning gardens surrounding it.

Château de la Mosson + My Favorites
Château de la Mosson was constructed during the 18th century by Joseph Bonnier, treasurer of the states of Languedoc. After the family became bankrupt at the end of the 18th century, the building became a silk factory, a dye factory, and a soap factory, before finally being aquired by the town of Montpellier in 1982. The building features 18the century architecture, and the Italian designed 'Salon de Musique' is also worth note. There is a 15 hectare garden open to the public, that surrounds the Chateau.
