Discover Montpellier 

Situated on the Mediterranean coast, Montpellier is often hailed as the Paris of Southern France. History lovers will find inspiration at the oldest practising medical school in the world, or the Mikvé, a ceremonial Jewish bath dating from the 13^th century. With medieval roots, stunning architecture, and bustling bars and cafés, Montpellier is the ideal place to soak up some French culture – and lots of sunshine.

Known as France’s youngest city, Montpellier has a large student population and a vibrant music and arts scene. On your weekends, take a trip to one of the city’s eight theatres to catch a live show, or head to the student-friendly Rockstore for indie concerts and DJs playing late into the night.

In Montpellier, a beach day is only a tram ride away. The Plage du Petit Travers is one of the best beaches in the area, known for its turquoise water and soft sand. Alternatively, take a train to Étang de Thau, a protected lagoon where you can windsurf, admire the rustic landscape, and even spot some pink flamingos.
