    The “Tour de la Babote” is part of the mighty Montpellier wall. Its construction began as early as the 12th century, but it was only completed 800 years later in its current form. In its upper part there is now a star observatory. In contrast, people used to look down from the top: In 1783, physicist Louis-Sébastien Lenormand undertook various experiments with experimental parachutes to which weights or even animals were attached.



    Next to the "Tour de la Babote" is the "Boulevard du Jeu de Paume", a vibrant vein of life in Montpellier. Particularly fascinating: the painted "Trompe l'Oeil" on a house facade, which, with its perspective representation, simulates three-dimensionality
