Montpellier is one of France's leading tourist destinations and welcomes its visitors with huge enthusiasm throughout the year, encouraging them to explore the region’s opportunities. This ancient city's reputation is based on its geographical location right on the Mediterranean, an advantage that has encouraged trade and intellectual curiosity since the city was founded.

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 has been demonstrated by the reputation of the Universities of Law and The Arts, and the venerable Faculty of Medicine - the oldest in the Western world!

Montpellier is the capital of Languedoc-Roussillon and remains a dynamic city. Its residents are constantly looking to the future and, above all, reflect a Mediterranean way of life inspired by a rich past that can be seen in its monuments and surrounding follies. Take a stroll through Montpellier... you will be walking through a town centre – a 1000 years old – lived in, and lined with 17th and 18th century private mansions sitting alongside new districts designed by well-known contemporary architects, such as Bofill, Vasconi, Chemetov, etc. Montpellier is an evolving city – just as endometriosis is evolving!
