An innovative university city filled with energy and vitality, Montpellier’s reputation for hospitality continually attracts tourists. Close to the beautiful Mediterranean coastline and many sandy beaches, Montpellier has never had more to offer in the way of seasonal tourism. Many of the best sights have grown up in the Old City, which forms the very heart of Montpellier, being characterised by a series of narrow alleys and plentiful restaurants and bars.
