A southern city full of traditional and contemporary treasures, Montpellier is a Mediterranean crossroads, a charming and exceptional destination. A medieval city where the town centre, Place de la Comédie, Faculté de Médecine and Place Royale du Peyrou attract visitors from around the world, Montpellier is also a modern metropolis, open to contemporary architecture, science, culture and recreation.

But it also has many other assets. A protected area, made up of various landscapes between the sea 11km away, vineyards and mountains. A typical laid back Mediterranean atmosphere. Delicious food and wine bursting with sunshine. Exceptional cultural and sporting events...

Only the tram has access to the city centre; the historic core of Montpellier is completely free of cars so visitors can peacefully stroll around. The lively heart of the city is Place de la Comédie, a large square that exudes 19th-century glamour and a monumental fountain across from the opera. But the best spots for a drink are found in the fascinating maze of old streets and squares in Écusson.
