Historic Castles and Monuments

Montpellier’s architectural landscape is defined by its 'folies'—elegant 18th-century country estates like Château de Flaugergues and Château de la Mogère, built by wealthy merchants. This collection highlights these aristocratic retreats alongside medieval landmarks, including the 12th-century Église Sainte-Croix de Celleneuve and the Arceaux de Font d'Aurelle canal. Spanning from the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment, these sites showcase the region's heritage through Italianate gardens, ornate facades, and historic hydraulic engineering.
