Montpellier is the capital of Languedoc Roussillon. To the north, the Cevennes, south east the Camargue, south the long sandy beaches of the Mediterranean, the major fishing port of Sete, the oyster beds of Bouzigues, to the west the beautiful vineyards & olive groves of the Herault valley, then you climb up the gorge to historic villages & towns like Aniane & St Guilhem le Desert. All around, the renowned vineyards, Pic St Loup, Mas de Daumas Gassac, Picpoul de Pinet, Clairette d'Ardissan to name a few.
Montpellier is an ancient university town & has the youngest population in France.
The old town bustles with life, with particular emphasis on music of all sorts, & all year round cafe culture.
A highlight of the year is the festival of music of Radio France, with rare performances of opera & classical music, by international stars & young discoveries alike.
The historic centre is now a pedestrian zone, creating calm & quiet, & clear air.
Come & wander in the sun.
