Montpellier the small pearl of Occitania

The city of Montpellier is located in the department of Herault, in the Occitan region. It is ideally located since it is only 11 km from the Mediterranean Sea. With its 280,000 inhabitants, Montpellier is the most important city of the department. It surpasses Béziers (76,000 inhabitants), Sète (45,000 inhabitants) and Agde (30,000 inhabitants).

Montpellier, the junction between two worlds

In the south of France, Montpellier has nothing to envy to a city like Marseille. Its historical and cultural heritage is one of the best endowed in France. To be convinced of this, just visit the district of l'Écusson, the historic center of the city. There you can discover the Saint-Roch church, the Sainte-Foy chapel, the Comédie square or the fountain of the three Graces.

To go to meet the modern facet of Montpellier, nothing is worth a detour through the Antigone district. On 1.800 meters, visitors can enjoy a contemporary decor, the fruit of the architect Ricardo Bofil. The Antigone district surfs between beauty, innovation and avant-gardism.

Other areas of interest to fill you with wonder? The sublime Saint-Pierre Cathedral of Montpellier, the Arc de Triomphe, Flaugergues Castle, the Comedy Opera, etc., Montpellier is a grandiose capital.

The best leisure and outdoor activities

When it comes to leisure activities, it's hard to get bored in Montpellier. Indeed, there are so many things to do that it is hard to decide. The jardin des plantes, the park of the Domaine de Méric, the zoological park of Montpellier, the Planet Ocean Montpellier (formerly Planétarium Galilée), etc., are the most beautiful addresses in the city.

Going to the Arceaux market is the ideal activity to buy local products. To stretch your legs on a sunny day, a trip to the Charles de Gaulle esplanade will do you good. Another option within your reach is the Promenade du Peyrou.

A city where people like to stroll, Montpellier is also the opportunity to enjoy the sea. Well yes, you will have to go there by car, by bike or by tramway, but the satisfaction will be there. The beach of Espiguette de la Grande Conque or that of Pilou will make the happiness of all the lovers of the open air.
