Having a Coffee, Shopping, attending an Opera are the few Things to do that make Place de la Comédie the favourite pastime of any Montpellier.
Comedy, the place, comedy, theatre, are we entitled to a Montpellier fashion in terms of appellation? Not really, no. However, if these two of the city’s top attractions have the same name, it’s no accident.
This fortified silhouette, classified as a historic monument since 1927, is well known to Montpellier residents. But for us, who are quietly moving into the unknown on the boulevard, the effect of surprise is total.
While the great monuments tell us the story of a city, the local markets are the ones that take us on a tour of their terroir. And in Montpellier, a Mediterranean destination at the crossroads of taste, eating well is almost an art.
The neighborhood you drive to, the square you arrive on, and even the church you approach, you understand that here, only one man counts: Saint-Roch.
In Montpellier, we can of course speak of an old centre, but in the mouth of the locals, the real ones, we will mention especially the Ecusson.

Of the 82 botanical gardens in France and French-speaking countries combined, it is here in Montpellier that the dean of the band hides. Impressed? You can be!
For as long as it has been around and told its story, the Jardin des Plantes has been one of those Montpellier attractions that we think we know. And yet! During its 5 centuries of life, the site has accumulated incredible secrets and specificities.
120 meters, at most, is the distance you will have to travel in a straight line, from here, to admire another remarkable witness of the history of Montpellier.
Letting you know the essentials of Montpellier, this is the promise we made to ourselves in developing this itinerary of visit. But how about we show you a unique place?
