A crossroads of cultures, knowledge and goods
As a crossroads of cultures, knowledge and goods, medieval Montpellier was booming. With the increasing popularity of pilgrimages, the city became a major stop along the Camin Roumieu, one of the four routes of the Camino de Santiago (the southern route).
Pilgrims would find room and board there, the protection of Notre-Dame des Tables, and the possibility of exchanging money and obtaining medical treatment.
The remnants of this prosperous era can be found on the façades and in the courtyards of the old “hostals”.
