The art of living Mediterranean-style has been long been perfected
in Montpellier. Nestled in the Golfe du Lion, the capital of France's
Languedoc region is a thriving university city, the nerve centre
of France's south-west.
Radiating out from its bustling Place de la Comédie is
the pedestrianised Centre Historique, a maze of attractive, winding
streets, open-air terraces and luxurious private mansions, or
hôtels particuliers. Holding all this in are wide tree-lined
boulevards and an impeccable new tram system that will convince
even the most stubborn motorist to leave their car keys at home.
But the best bit is that you can enjoy all this and still have
the beaches, mountains, vineyards and countryside on your doorstep
too.
