Écolothèque is an educational space in Montpellier, in the Occitania region of southern France, devoted to environmental education and sustainable development. Its address is Rue Théophraste Renaudot, 34430 Saint-Jean-de-Védas, on the edge of the Montpellier area.
What the visit offers
The site runs awareness activities about nature and ecology, aimed both at school groups and at the general public. It suits visitors who want to learn about the natural world rather than simply look at it, and it works well for families and for anyone curious about how the local environment is cared for.
The grounds include landscaped natural areas where you can explore the local biodiversity and the environmental issues that affect it. Walking through them gives a practical sense of the plants and habitats around Montpellier, and of the challenges the region faces.
Plan your visit
- Check the activities on offer before you go, since the programme is designed around schools and the general public.
- Allow time to walk the natural areas at your own pace.
- Combine the trip with a day in Montpellier itself, a short journey away.
For a visitor who enjoys learning outdoors, Écolothèque offers a quieter counterpoint to the city, with a clear focus on nature, ecology and the everyday choices that shape a sustainable future.
