Map

Montpellier is the capital and the largest city of the Languedoc-Roussillon region (South of France). It is an ancient and academic city with historic buildings, abundant gardens and an impressively vast central square. Founded in 985, the city has continuously developed having recently undergone a programme of regeneration giving rise to a new tramway system, the Antigone quarter (created by Ricardo Bofill) by the River Lez and the Corum concert and conference complex.

The city offers two faces: the old town, small enough to walk around through the narrow streets some lined with 18th century mansions and the modern town, dynamic and developing as emphasized by the impressive building of the Antigone quarter.

Montpellier is a great place for entertainment with fine restaurants and bars, movie theatres, an opera house, Olympic indoor swimming pool, ice-skating park and one of the oldest Botanic gardens in Europe. Last but not least, the Mediterranean coast, for a typical town see Palavas which is only 10km away and can be reached by city buses in approximately 30 minutes
