I like the park of the Domaine de Méric in spring, with its large field of poppies and cornflowers. In the background you can see the "mas" (farmhouse, big house) of the famous painter Frédéric Bazille. The park appears on several paintings by Bazille, who died very young during the Franco-Prussian War, in 1870.

On the website of the city of Montpellier, there are "postcards" that you can send to your friends. I think the photographers have added a lot of red to the card showing Méric.

  1. Wow. Nice scene. So many flowers means there should be a lot of macro shots in the field of flowers.

  2. You would love it there, Abraham. There are lots of insects, butterflies, birds and fish and turtles in the river nearby.
