Your digital welcome booklet in Montpellier

Welcome to Montpellierthe city of sunshine

Montpellier is a city of sun, festivities and good spirits. In addition to its medieval architecture, the city is dynamic, lively and full of surprises.

Whether you’re interested in history, culture or just looking for a lively, fun city to explore, it’s a must-see destination in the south of France.

Montpellier andentertainment

First, let’s start with the really fun part of this city. It is well known for its student life and lively nightlife. The city center is packed with bars and restaurants. We also recommend Le Panis and Le Broc Café. And if you’re looking for a good Sunday morning brunch, Tartine et Sac à Dos is the place to be. But Montpellier’s charm also lies in its paillotes. Tested and approved by StyQr, these include La Pampa, Le Bambou and L’Effet mer. They’re all just outside the city center, so don’t be afraid to stray a little 😉.

Live music fan? You’ve come to the right place. Numerous festivals are organized during the summer, including the Radio France Occitanie Festival and the Printemps des Comédiens.

Are you looking for discovery and nature? Once again in the right place 😉. Whether you want to laze on a sandy beach or take an adventurous hike with panoramic views over the city, there’s plenty to do. Let yourself be tempted by the Pic Saint Loup hike and discover an exceptional panorama.

Don't miss

Last but not least, you can’t spend time in the City of Sunshine without visiting its must-sees.

We start with the heart of the city, Place de la Comédie and Esplanade Charles de Gaulle. It’s cult, unmissable and unmissable. From there, you’re in the right place to take the main boulevards to the Écusson district, Montpellier’s old town. It’s 80% pedestrianized, so it’s very easy to stroll around. Don’t miss rue de l’Ancien Courrier. It’s narrow, cobbled and full of stores.

Its Arc de Triomphe, which is no match for its Parisian brother 😉 stands at the end of the famous Avenue Foch.

The Peyrou promenade begins under the Arc. It’s an exceptional park with a beautiful view of the sea. It’s really the place to come to relax and enjoy the good weather.

If you’re passing through the Jardin des Plantes, you’re bound – yes, we said it – to discover one of the city’s most impressive buildings: the Cathedral of St. Peter.

Neighborhoodsnot to be missed

In a completely different style, the Antigone district will give you the impression that you’ve changed city. And yet not at all! Its originality lies in its architecture, which is completely different from the rest of the city.

Speaking of neighborhoods, the Saint-Roch and Saint-Anne districts are right next door, and abound in small bars, art galleries and street artists. It’s lively and warm, just the way we like it.

Cultureand discoveries

And to end our visit on a cultural note, stop off at the famous Musée Fabre. It is particularly renowned for its beauty and breathtaking collection of works. In fact, we’ve got a little tip for you! The museum is free every first Sunday of the month, so make the most of it!

Our visit to Montpellier ends here.
