Montpellier has plenty to offer heritage lovers!
Nearly 70 sumptuous town houses, an Arc de Triomphe and Place Royale du Peyrou erected to the glory of Louis XIV, medieval alleyways where it’s great to stroll, the oldest medical faculty in the world still in operation…
Not forgetting the Écusson, the pedestrianised heart of the city, colourful trams that combine soft mobility and modernity, street art in every corner of the city, and the feats of contemporary architecture that have made Montpellier a benchmark in the field…
Bassin Jacques Coeur 
Montpellier is also an art of living, with its mild Mediterranean climate and light, its terraces where you can savour the local gastronomy of a Michelin-starred chef, and its wines that you can taste at a Vignobles de Montpellier winery.
Nature at Montpellier’s doorstep means the peace and quiet of the seaside, accessible walks in the vineyards or beside the ponds, or a stroll through magical, unspoilt places like Villeneuve les Maguelone cathedral.
Less than 2 hours from seven UNESCO World Heritage sites, it’s also the ideal place to stay for exploring the land, vineyards and sea.
Take your time in Montpellier: nature excursions, hiking, cycling, trips to the Camargue and even golf.
And for water activities: a boat trip, kite-surfing, a diving course… You can even go canoeing on the Lez, right in the heart of Montpellier.
Enjoy the mild Mediterranean climate for two!
