Montpellier, a thousand-year-old city near the Mediterranean, has long been a crossroad of major cultural, historical, commercial and scientific movements. Southern French conviviality invites visitors to stroll about and art awaits them at every street-corner: the theater, squares, the Esplanade, the Comédie. Montpellier, one of France's oldest and most renowned university cities, welcomes 45 000 students from all over the world.
