Falling Fruit is the map that brings together nature lovers, budget enthusiasts, and those on the lookout for great deals. This collaborative project catalogs fruit trees that are accessible to the public all around the world. The idea is simple: avoid waste by gathering ripe fruits that have fallen to the ground, often left abandoned. With just one click, you can discover where these edible treasures are hiding and even contribute by adding your own finds.
Free (and local) fruits just a stone's throw away from you
In Montpellier and its surroundings, about fifteen hidden spots await the curious and the foodies. All you need is a basket and a good eye for observation to return with your arms full of apples, pears, or cherries, depending on the season. The red markers on the map show the available trees, turning your urban stroll into a true fruit treasure hunt.

An ecological and supportive approach
Gathering fallen fruits is also an eco-friendly action. Less waste, more sharing, and a rediscovery of natural resources right at your fingertips. Falling Fruit promotes a circular economy where everyone can contribute, whether online or through the mobile app. It's a lovely way to reconnect with nature without leaving the city!
Before you enjoy your finds, wash and peel your fruits well. Thanks to urban pollution, a quick rinse is necessary to ensure a safe tasting experience. After that, you're all set for homemade compotes, fruity pies, and handmade vitamin-rich juices.
