ABOUT MONTPELLIER
A city not to be missed!
As a urban destination and a major university city, with not less than 253 000 inhabitants and a 410 000 inhabitant metropolis, Montpellier found the right balance between a big town facilities and the Mediterranean "Dolce Vita".
Montpellier offers a whole set of architectural treasures.
Visiting Montpellier means going from an medieval architecture to a contemporary style while discovering outstanding and unusual settings! This modern city, which still has a desire to develop itself, is also an example of controlled urban planning with areas such as Antigone or Port Marianne.
Famous architects such as Jean Nouvel, François Fontès or even Ricardo Bofill have come to Montpellier and designers Garouste, Bonetti and more recently Christian Lacroix have even brought their touch to the town by imaginating the decoration of the Montpellier tramways.
The charms of Montpellier lies in this diversified and surprising architecture.
