Welcome
- From the charming streets of the Ecusson to the Odysseum entertainment mall, Montpellier’s sun will be shining down upon you 300 days a year!
- The Ecusson district is the city’s historic centre; it is a great place to hang out, with many public squares and sumptuous villas, but also the Saint-Anne church and the Saint-Pierre cathedral.
- Get your fair share of chlorophyll at the Jardin des Plantes (“Botanical Gardens”), the Grammont Park, the gardens of the Esplanade, and of course the Domaine du Chateau d’Eau.
- Looking for some family activities? Head on to the Odysseum which boasts a Planeterium, an Aquarium, a bowling alley and an ice-skating rink! -
See, visit, discover…
Explore the history of the world’s food culture at the Agropolis Museum, or art history at the Fabre Museum.
You can admire the Saint-Clément aqueduct and the cityscape as a whole from the Peyrou promenade in the Chateau d’Eau domain…
Cross the Antigone district, a sort of Neo-Antique area designed by Ricardo Bofill, and stroll along the banks of the Lez for a relaxing afternoon. -

- When to go?
One of the best times to visit Montpellier is during the International Dance Festival in late June, or in mid-July for the Radio France Music Festival.

80 hectares of surface area and over 500 animals… The Parc Zoologique de Montpellier is free of charge and makes for a wonderful outing.
