Just hang out and walk around Place de la Comédie to smell the Mediterranean atmosphere. The old city is a great labyrinth of tight streets (forbidden to cars) and you’ll love feeling the peaceful vibes all around. It’s also a good way to find out about the history of Montpellier and, more globally, learn about the old « langue d’Oc », which was the spoken language in the south of France until the Renaissance.
5. Enjoy the sea & sunbathing on the beach

Montpellier is just 15 minutes away from Mediterranean sea ! You can’t miss these long stripes of sand located at the south. For example, we recommend you going to Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone, which combines very nice beaches, front sea restaurants (« Paillottes » in French) with delicious fish and oysters as well as great historic monuments. If you like kite surf, you’ll be even happier as it’s a real nice spot to do so. Good news, you can go there in bus or book a taxi/Uber for less than 20€. Trust us, it’s worth it !
