Parc Méric is a place of inspiration, tranquility and family reunions that fostered the artistic sensibility and aesthetic reflection of painter Frédéric Bazille.
The park tells the story of the Montpellier bourgeoisie?s art of living between mansion and countryside, a bucolic setting for relaxation and the worship of nature from a scientific perspective.
It was one of the stages in the revolution towards a clearer, livelier, more modern style of plein-air painting, which would earn its letters of nobility under the name of Impressionism, 4 years after the painter?s death.
With Marie-Hélène Lecot, guide and art historian.
