   At the eastern end of this wide, tree-lined esplanade is the Arc de Triomphe (1692). From the Château d'Eau, an elaborate hexagonal water tower at its western limit, stretches the Aqueduc de St-Clément, spectacularly illuminated at night. North of the esplanade is the Jardin des Plantes, France's oldest botanical garden, laid out in 1593 and still used as a research resource by the University of Montpellier.
