This week in the agenda

Château d'Ô stands in Montpellier (Hérault), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

On the edge of Montpellier, the Château d'Ô is an 18th-century folly built for a royal intendant of Languedoc who had a taste for staged water displays. The main draw is the park itself, lined with clipped box hedges and Aleppo pines, where fountains, basins and a large pool once used for nautical entertainments still remain. The estate now belongs to the Hérault department and hosts several performance venues within its grounds.
