Small Boutique hotels in MONTPELLIER

Located in the southeast of France, Montpellier is bewitching with its medieval legacy of cobbled streets, and splendid boulevards and stately buildings that define it as an elegant city. The streets of the old town flow into the oval square of the Comédie. Stately and iconic, it dates back to the 18th century, highlighting the Opera building built a century later.

The limits of the ancient medieval city are set by the Tower of Babotte. Dating back to the 14th century, it is the current headquarters of the Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences. In southern Gothic style, the imposing St. Peter's Cathedral deserves a stop. For pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela, the Church of San Roch is a welcome point.

As a cultured and studious city, the first Medical School in Europe was founded in Montpellier in the 12th century, and it is still active. It is here where Ramon Llull and Nostradamus studied. The walks through its parks are wonderful: the Esplanade Charles de Gaulle, and the Botanical Garden, the oldest in France, is from the 16th century.

Its position is very close to the coast so within easy reach are long sandy beaches and a swim in the Mediterranean Sea. As the capital of the Languedoc-Roussillon region, both in the city and its surroundings, you will find charming hotels that blend design with historical surroundings.
