Domaine d'O

Concerts and theatrical performances provide glamor, while landscaped gardens and an olive grove embrace nature in this French folly. Enjoy a summer festival here.

Domaine d’O is an 18th-century castle where all types of cultural events take place. In its 62 acres (25 hectares) of scenic gardens and woodland are three theaters where you can attend plays, recitals and comedy performances. Bring your family to attend an event in these majestic surroundings.

Embark on a guided tour of the castle, which is one of many so-called follies in Montpellier built by wealthy merchants in the 1700s. Admire the array of period furniture and ornate décor marking the chateau’s interior. Workshops for kids and adults are often organized in and around the castle.

Go to the restaurant for a meal in grandiose surroundings. You may prefer to bring your own food for a picnic in the century-old pine forest. Gaze up at the trees, as you wander along the paths of the olive grove. Enjoy the serenity in this bucolic setting, not far from the city center.

Look back on the castle and snap photos of its Baroque façade. In the foreground are a circular fountain and French gardens.

Theatrical performances, musical concerts and film showings are among the cultural activities arranged in the complex. Inspect the wooden frames that crisscross over the colorful exterior of the Jean-Claude Carrière Theater. See shows in the Théâtre d’O or the open-air Amphithéâtre d’O. Visual arts displays, philosophical debates and author talks are among the other events that occur at this busy folly.

Domaine d’O opens to the public year-round and is free to enter. The estate is in the northwestern part of Montpellier. From the Place de la Comédie, take the tramline to the Château d’O stop and walk northwest for a few minutes to get to the estate. You can also drive and leave your car in the parking lot. Visit some of the nearby landmarks, such as the Université Montpellier and the Paul-Emile Victor House for Everyone.
