Montpellier Follies
The ''folies'' of the French city of Montpellier are a number of châteaux on the outskirts of the city. Comparable to English country houses rather than follies in the usual sense of the term, they were built by the wealthy as summer residences from the 18th century onwards.

The ''folies'' are the visible proof of the wealth of the region in the 18th century. Most of them are built in Renaissance style, with decorative gardens surrounding them. These gardens are in various styles, both French and Italianate as well as those designed in a 'natural' way, in a style resembling but pre-dating English garden style.

Initially built as country houses outside the city, today they are mostly surrounded by subu ...
