The city of Montpellier is the capital of the Languedoc-Roussillon region and is located just inland from the Mediterranean coast and its fantastic beaches. Montpellier is an attractive bustling city with a pedestriansed old town with its beautiful 17th and 18th century town houses, the Esplanade Charles de Gaulle and the Place de la Comedie with its 19th-century Opera House. Here you will find shops, cafés, restaurants, bars and a daily farmers market. Ideal for a stroll or people watching from a pavement café.
Montpellier is a great location for a short break or as a base to explore the surrounding region with its history and many UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
