Very nice garden with some very old trees and a lot of information at some point plants and trees. It's in French so you can practice :). A lot of shade in some areas and we sat down on one of the many benches and enjoyed the surroundings.

Very nice botanic garden for a stroll. They have many well marked trees and plants and a few interesting and uncommon things. VID protocols mean the cactus house and another building are currently closed to public. 1 to 2.5 hours is probably about the right amount of time to spend there depending on your love of plants. They do not charge, so if you go for less time you don't have to feel like you lost your money.

A quiet oasis in old town Montpelier. Founded in 1593, this is the oldest botanical garden in France. It started as a collection of medicinal plant for the school of medicine. Now the park is open to the public. Closes at 8pm.

Apparently the oldest botanical garden in Europe! Not a huge space but the variety of planting and spaces is impressive. Lots of benches in quiet shady spots to read a book or have some lunch (seems very popular with the locals as a lunch spot) One downside - the gardens don't open until 12 which seems quite late (indeed there was a queue of people waiting to enter when I arrived at the entrance at 11:55) Definitely recommend - as this is so close to the cathedral and place de peyrou very easy to do all 3 in a couple of hours

Beautiful terraced area to sit out and enjoy a pint, a cocktail or even a nice chilled frappe. Well worth a visit to come and sit in this peaceful area of this busy city. :)
