Mercure Montpellier

Walking the streets of Montpellier

by Suet

I would reccommend that you just walk around the city taking photographs. It does not have to be an expensive city (although it can be) and there is plenty to see and do for free. Parks to sit and trees over the benches to keep you cool, dogs to talk to, people to watch and lots to explore. I would take you to the Place de la Comedie where there is always something going on of interest. You can take your bottle of water and a sandwich and sit on the steps of the Theatre and watch the world go by. I miss the warmth and safety of Montpellier. The sheer freedom of being able to walk around a city at night and not be scared or frightened of people. I love the festival atmosphere of the place, the street musicians, the street theatre and the many small streets and interesting shops.

The Pont du Gard is just a short train ride from Montpellier and a great day trip. Take your swimmers with you as the river is great. The locals use it as a swimming hole as well. Entrance to the site is free.

Visit the Western Edge of Town

by hquittner

In the western part of the city one passes along the Rue Foch until it ends at Arc de Triomphe built in 1691 commemorating the victories of Louis XIV in battle. Here the Promenade of Peyrou extends further west to further monuments. But first we must see Arch itself decorated with its bas-reliefs as well as close by regal nearby statues and the Law Courts.

Beautiful Montpellier

by TinyTuck

I lived here for almost 4 months, and I must say that Montpellier is probably THE most beautiful city I've ever been to - or at least the one I loved the most. The old town with its narrow streets, sandstone bulidungs and all the cafés and boutiques is just lovely, and it's big enough to make you explore new things every day. And not only that: I have to admit that I still got lost sometimes by the end of my stay...

It's also perfectly located close to the beach and surrounded by beautiful nature, mountains and gorges.
