Montpellier

Tucked between the Lez River and the Mediterranean hinterland, Montpellier is a city whose character is shaped by its sunlit southern climate and compact historic centre. The pedestrian streets of Écusson lead to Place de la Comédie, long the city’s principal gathering place, while the Promenade du Peyrou opens toward the water tower and Saint-Clément aqueduct. Montpellier’s university, founded in 1220, is among Europe’s oldest and still gives the city a strong student presence. The Mediterranean coast lies southeast of the city, with lagoons and coastal towns of Hérault shaping the wider setting.
