Launched in the late 70s, Antigone is a district that revolutionized Montpellier by taking the city in the direction of the sea.
Stretching over 36 hectares between the Ecusson and the Lez river, this neoclassical-inspired district is surprisingly socially mixed, combining low-cost housing, shops, offices, large-scale facilities and statues reminiscent of Greek antiquity. Take a tour of Antigone, from the Place du Nombre d?Or to the top of the Hôtel de Région, and immerse yourself in this avant-garde project conceived by former mayor Georges Frêche and Catalan architect Ricardo Bofill.
- Meet 10 minutes from streetcar stop line 1 "Antigone", place Paul Bec
