Domaine de Méric, Public park in Montpellier, France
The Domaine de Méric extends over multiple terraces along the Lez River, featuring Mediterranean woods, century-old trees, and an English garden layout.
The estate belonged to the family of painter Frédéric Bazille in the 19th century, where he created several paintings including Vue de Village and La Robe Rose.
The mansion grounds display the typical architecture of wealthy Montpellier families who built country estates with gardens combining agricultural production and leisure spaces.
The park opens daily from 8:00 AM with seasonal closing times, ranging from 6:00 PM in winter to 9:30 PM in summer, accessed via tram line 2.
During spring months, the park's meadow transforms into a red carpet of wild poppies, while remnants of water mills stand along the Lez River.
