Hotels in Montpellier France

The city of Montpellier is home to one of the botanical gardens and one of the oldest universities in France. Due to its location in the south of the country, Montpellier is far from being your typical French medieval city. Here you can enjoy the remarkable Spanish influence of its architecture, taste fresh fish just brought from the Mediterranean and spend the day in a tourist complex located in any of the coastal villages located in the southern part.

We advise you to start your visit in the Comedy Square (Plaza de la Comedia), a large open space crowned by the spectacular Comedy Opera. Here you can enjoy some of the wonderful shows that take place throughout the year, or admire the beauty of this fantastic XNUMXth century building at night, when its monumental windows are illuminated in a brilliant purple light.

Developed between 1979 and 2000, this neighborhood was entirely designed by the famous Catalan architect Ricardo Bofill. The impressive neoclassical buildings of this neighborhood culminate in the amphitheater of Esplanade de l'Europe, which serves the bend of the river Lez. If you visit Montpellier in summer, take the opportunity to visit this esplanade on a Friday afternoon to enjoy a wine tasting.
