    1. Famous botanists from Montpellier

    Botany and medicine: an intertwining history

    Botany has long been associated with the spread of medicine and can be seen in Montpellier at its Jardin des Plantes, the oldest botanical garden in France, created in the late 16th century at the initiative of King Henri IV.

    Discover this unique space, the neighbouring Faculty of Medicine and the great names in botany who contributed to the prestige of both the school and the garden, the likes of Planchon, Magnol and Richer de Belleval, as well as the Apothecaries’ Guild.
