Your experience
Stop 1
Here, we are sure that your eyes landed first on this old bridge overlooking the street. However, believe us, the building to which it is connected on the left also deserves your interest.
Stop 2
Having a Coffee, Shopping, attending an Opera are the few Things to do that make Place de la Comédie the favourite pastime of any Montpellier.
Stop 3
Comedy, the place, comedy, theatre, are we entitled to a Montpellier fashion in terms of appellation? Not really, no. However, if these two of the city’s top attractions have the same name, it’s no accident.
Stop 4
This fortified silhouette, classified as a historic monument since 1927, is well known to Montpellier residents. But for us, who are quietly moving into the unknown on the boulevard, the effect of surprise is total.
Stop 5
While the great monuments tell us the story of a city, the local markets are the ones that take us on a tour of their terroir. And in Montpellier, a Mediterranean destination at the crossroads of taste, eating well is almost an art.
Stop 6
The neighborhood you drive to, the square you arrive on, and even the church you approach, you understand that here, only one man counts: Saint-Roch.
Stop 7
In Montpellier, we can of course speak of an old centre, but in the mouth of the locals, the real ones, we will mention especially the Ecusson.
Stop 8
Montpellier's neighborhood life is a nice rhyme with Point of Sale. And it is not the immense rectangular mass before which you stand, which will attest to the contrary. See all that could have existed before it, if we go further.
Stop 9
When we arrive on this square, we only have eyes for the bell tower of the old Sainte-Anne church, visible throughout Montpellier.
Stop 10
Yes, it is not only Paname who has the right to his Arc de Triomphe in France! Montpellier, the “gifted”, is apparently entitled to hers.
Stop 11
Boasting a unique panorama of the hinterland and its terraced gardens, the Promenade du Peyrou offers a visiting setting that makes many dream of it.
Stop 12
Supplying a city with water is a common task these days. But at the time, we must imagine that access to this natural resource was a real challenge. And Montpellier can testify.
