Montpellier from Strasbourg
Located between Spain and Italy, with unparalleled sunshine – more than 300 days a year – and its fantastic art of living, Montpellier has an attraction like no other. Its historic heart, the Écusson, is packed with art galleries, antique dealers and small shops with a unique charm. The terraces call for conviviality, while the restaurants are the home of good food. Around its centre, old quarters such as Les Arceaux or Les Beaux-Arts are the perfect place to learn more about the city’s history. On the other hand, the Port Marianne, Antigone and Millénaire districts, with their contemporary architecture, are rapidly expanding with a host of bars, restaurants and shops. In addition to this fantastic dynamism, Montpellier’s other real asset can be found in its proximity to the Mediterranean. By public transport or car, it couldn’t be easier to escape from the city and enjoy the sun’s rays by the water.
