Activity itinerary

Place de la Comédie

  • 15m
Start the tour at the Comedy Square, the central meeting for tourists and locals alike. In the vibrant square, local musicians fill the air with beautiful melodies amongst numerous historic landmarks, and government buildings, as well as a wealth of outdoor cafés, shops, and endless entertainment. The highlight of all is the magnificent statue of the Three Graces which surmounts the central fountain, classified as a historical monument.

Arc de Triomphe

  • 15m
Next, walk through the emblematic Triumphal Arch of Montpellier, dedicated to the glory of King Louis XIV of France, the ‘Sun King’. The facade is laden with intricate carvings depicting various stages of his reign, with the badge of the city of Montpellier sitting at the highest point. What’s more, the site offers a stunning background for souvenir photos with an equestrian statue of Louis XIV and a fairytale water tower in the back.

Promenade du Peyrou

  • 15m
Upon entering the gate, take a stroll along the Promenade du Peyrou, a well-shaded esplanade running through a park located at the highest point of the city to take in fresh air and the scenic beauty of various statues, and gardens.

Promenade du Peyrou

  • 15m
Pass by the Water Tower, an elaborate hexagonal water tower at the end of the esplanade. The splendid stonework perches on the bank of a pond from which you can enjoy terrific views of the city in all directions.

Aqueduc Saint-Clément

  • 15m
The next step of the tour is the significant Saint-Cléme Aquaduct. The imposing monument takes the form of Roman-type stone arches extending over 800m and taking more than ten years to finish. This 18th-century hydraulic structure was used to transfer water over 10 km from the Saint-Clément spring to the Water Tower and supply water for numerous fountains throughout the old town.

Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Montpellier

  • 15m
Then, visit the Montpellier Cathedral, the only medieval church in the city centre that survived the War of Religions in the 16th century, and thus a great example of Gothic architecture, especially the interior featuring beautiful stained glass, old religious paintings, and an attached garden. The architectural marvel has been classified as a “Historical Monument” since 1996.

Jardin des plantes de Montpellier

  • 15m
Explore the Royal Garden of Montpellier, the last destination on the tour. The charming botanical garden, covering almost 5 hectares in the heart of Montpellier, is the oldest in France. As a part of the Faculty of Medicine, the garden hosts a large collection of medicinal plants, alongside a diversity of breathtaking greenery and flowers, including greenhouses, enchanting lotus ponds, romantic alleys, and the 400-year-old ‘wishing tree’.
