Discover Montpellier's little-known but magical mikveh with an expert guide!
Montpellier's medieval mikveh, a 13th-century Jewish ritual purification bath, bears witness to the importance of the Jewish community, which played a major role in the development and influence of Montpellier.
Located in the heart of what was once the Jewish Quarter, the mikveh is one of the oldest and best-preserved in Europe.
The mikveh is fed by a constantly replenished supply of underground water, which emerges from an orifice (or gargoyle) symbolizing its passage.
