About

A guided tour of the ground floor of the former bishop's palace — now dedicated to cultural use — exploring its gardens, monumental staircase, ceremonial salons and chapel, offered by the Culture and Heritage division at the Ancien évêché in Montpellier across the European Heritage Days weekend.

Agents from the Culture and Heritage division guide visitors through the ground floor of the former bishop's palace in Montpellier, a building now repurposed for cultural activities.

Highlights of the tour include the historic gardens, the monumental staircase, the grand ceremonial salons and the chapel — all testaments to the former prestige of this episcopal residence.

The tour takes place across both days of the European Heritage Days weekend: Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September 2026.
