Montpellier Tourist Information and Visitor Guide
Montpellier is one of the fastest-growing cities in France and has transformed itself from a rather serious university town to a funky party place. A huge central square is where all the locals gather to gossip and it is from here that you can dive into the ancient lanes of the old town, lined with elegant villas. From triumphal arches to chic bars, Montpellier is a city that is going places.
