Montpellier isn’t your average French city—it’s better. Imagine if Paris moved to the Mediterranean, ditched the attitude, and picked up a scooter. This sun-drenched southern gem is part medieval maze, part student city, part fashion-forward art hub—and it’s criminally underrated. From the Place de la Comédie to the beaches of Palavas-les-Flots, this is France with flavor.
What’s Inside:
️ Get lost (on purpose) in the Écusson, Montpellier’s old town
Café-hop in Place de la Comédie—sax solos and pigeon drama included
Visit the world’s oldest med school + a cathedral built for dragons
Explore the MO.CO. & Musée Fabre for that modern/artsy fix
Ride a designer tram to Mediterranean beaches and back
Snack at Marché du Lez (think: food trucks meet flea markets meet DJs)
Recharge in France’s oldest botanical garden or on a shady wine terrace
Bonus: Use Montpellier as your launchpad for day trips to Nîmes, Uzès, and the wild flamingos of Camargue
