If you’re looking for a spot in the south of France with incredible energy, forget the overcrowded and overpriced Riviera for a moment. Just across the Rh\u00f4ne River a completely different world begins, called Occitania, and its beating heart is right here in Montpellier, France<\/strong>. This is a city with a huge student population<\/strong>, which gives it an unbelievable buzz that will pull you in instantly. You won’t find the polished boutiques of Cannes here, but instead medieval lanes built from sun-soaked limestone, rugged castles in the surrounding hills, and beaches where, instead of Hollywood stars, you’ll meet local families with picnic baskets. Travellers often call this region “the other Riviera,” because it’s far more authentic and a lot easier on the wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article you’ll find 13 things to see and do in Montpellier<\/strong> to make the most of your visit. Together we’ll wander through the historic \u00c9cusson quarter, check out the fantastic modern district of Antigone, and I’ll show you the easiest way to reach the nearby beaches. You’ll also learn where to base yourself strategically<\/strong>, the best time to go so you can dodge the summer inferno, and which day trips are absolutely worth adding to your itinerary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
