Stop 1
You can start with the Egg, as the Montpellier people once called it!
Between the fountain of the Three Graces that makes selfies to all going and the terraces that overflow with life, you will quickly understand why it is THE must-see spot of the city!
2
You'll love this green bubble right in the center! Between the centuries-old plane trees that give us shade and the fountains that spit towards the sky, it is the perfect place to breathe before diving into history.
3
Get your camera ready! We zigzag through a maze of alleys where each stone tells a story. Between mansion facades and modern graffiti, the Middle Ages make eye to street art!
4
Little secret well kept from the locals! This square is the perfect setting for a romantic movie with its mansions looking down on you. The perfect spot for a "wow" break and some crisp stories.
5
Did you know that students with their teachers dug up bodies at night to study them in medical school? The oldest medical school in Europe has chilling stories, located right next to St. Peter's Cathedral, majestic and austere...
6
To leave the crest, we pass through a magical portal, the Arc de Triomphe, erected between the modern city and the majestic royal promenade. It's the icing on the cake! 360° view of the city, a Roman aqueduct that plays the stars, and a Sun King on horseback watching over all this. Your photo album is going to go up in flames with beautiful memories, I promise!
7
Let's come full circle back to the Egg! we cross the emblematic Place Jean Jaurès, then a small detour through the Rue de la Loge to admire the windows and facades.
