Montpellier is one of France's leading tourist destinations, welcoming its visitors with huge enthusiasm throughout the year and encouraging them to try some of the host of opportunities available.

It is not by chance that Montpellier is one of the leading university towns in the South of France: learning is a real vocation here, as can be seen from the reputation of the Universities of Law and The Arts, and the venerable Faculty of Medicine - the oldest in the Western world.
