Montpellier blooms with so much that helps contribute to its incomparable charm: historical heritage combined with modern architecture, world class festivals, unparalleled gourmet cuisine, devotion to fine wines, and much more...all along the Mediterranean seaside! Montpellier is also a major destination for business travel, tourism and for learning the French language, a city with many facets to its reputations, from medicine to violin making!
Capital of Languedoc Roussillon, Montpellier is less than 3 hours from both Barcelona and Northern Italy, and just 11 kilometers from the Mediterranean. Easily accessible by car, train (3 hours and 15 minutes from Paris with the TGV high speed train), or plane (Montpellier Méditerranée International Airport), Montpellier is the ideal starting point from which you can discover the natural splendor of Camargue and the Cévennes, as well as some of the world's most prestigious heritage sites, such as Pont du Gard, Nîmes, and Carcassonne.
