The beautiful landscape, contemporary architecture and rich cultural scene of Montpellier merge with the typical bonne vie of the Mediterranean, and of course, the character of southern France: sun, sea, cuisine and local wine. Explore the city streets on the new trams, decorated by fashion designer Christian Lacroix, or wander through the medieval lanes full of intriguing shops. Be blinded by the colours and tempted by the aromas in the Les Arceaux market, and stop to try one of the many gourmet restaurants. And if you need to get away from the hustle and bustle, just a few miles away you’ll find beaches, vineyards and nature reserves to escape to and relax – or have a go at some adventure sports.
