Montpellier France

The capital of Languedoc-Roussillon, a few kilometres from the sea, surprises visitors with its dynamism. Bathed in soft Mediterranean light, its old neighbourhoods and its magnificent gardens invite you to wander through its elegant boulevards. In full demographic expansion, the city, which celebrates its ancestral vocation for medicine and research, has transformed into a cosmopolitan metropolis with a big city buzz. Between Place de la Comédie and the Arc de Triomphe du Peyrou, we find Montpellier old quarter. Ecusson, the historic centre, retains its winding and narrow medieval lanes and shady backstreets. Along these streets magnificent palaces, with its beautiful stairs and courtyards, stand gracefully. The cathedral of Saint-Pierre is one of the city’s icons, not to be missed is the impressive canopy porch supported by two monumental cylindrical pillars. Montpellier blends old world charm with a modern and vibrant nightlife. Its theatres, stylish bars and its opera cheer up the evenings creating a lively atmosphere. The newest area of the city is called the place de la Comde, here you can find excellent restaurants, cafes and shops.
