Falling Fruit is a map that brings together nature lovers, economy enthusiasts, and savvy finders. This collaborative project lists fruit trees accessible to the public all around the world. The idea is simple: to prevent waste by collecting ripe fruits that have fallen to the ground, often left behind. With just one click, you can discover where these edible treasures are hidden and even contribute by adding your own finds.
Free (and local) fruits just steps from your door
In Montpellier and its surroundings, nearly 70 hidden spots are waiting for the curious and the hungry. All you need is a basket and a keen eye to come back with arms full of apples, pears, or cherries, depending on the season. The red dots on the map indicate the available trees, turning your urban stroll into a delightful fruit treasure hunt.

An ecological and community approach
Gathering fallen fruits is also an eco-friendly gesture. Less waste, more sharing, and a rediscovery of natural resources at your fingertips. Falling Fruit is part of a vision that...e; circular economy where everyone can contribute, online or through the mobile app. A wonderful way to reconnect with nature without leaving the city!
Before enjoying your finds, make sure to wash and peel your fruits well. Urban pollution calls for a little rinse to ensure a safe tasting experience. After that, it's all about homemade compotes, fruity pies, and hand-made vitamin-packed juices!
