Montpellier is a city located in the south of France. It is not a seaside location, though it is located only 10 short kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea, but Montpellier has all the historic charm of its seaside neighbors as well as all the history and culture of France’s bigger inland cities. Visitors in Montpellier will delight in the variety of art galleries and museums, which showcase the city’s history from the ancient churches which once ruled the city to the street art that now adorns its walls. Those looking for a bit of a stroll can walk along the old aqueduct, or shop in a local market for fresh food or a bottle of Languedoc wine, and if good food is the objective, Montpellier has got that covered as well, with amazing restaurants located in old bathhouses and relaxed pubs with cheap, delicious drinks.
