    Very nice experience for children and teenagers, they can learn and appreciate the water life of our planet. Ticket price is reasonable and attendants friendly. Great chances to take pictures.

    This gallery packs a punch! A wonderfully diverse amount of artwork on display, from Bazille to Joshua Reynolds. The gallery is nicely curated and air conditioned, so you can absorb the artwork in a comfortable setting.

    The contemporary exhibit featuring the works of Soulages is a nice contrast to the renaissance and earlier art. You can easily spend a day here - a highlight for me were the male nudes by Fabre and the seascape by Roqueplan.

    Nice big Square with plenty of bars and restaurants. If you only want a drink ask first as they seem to have separate tables for eating and drinking.
    Really busy place which is great for people watching.

    It got my attention this zoo while looking for activities in Montepellier because, to be honest, first said it was for free and then when we went it was beauiful and the animals well taken care but the Amazonas (which has an cost) was closed.

    Great place to visit from montpellier to see flamingos and other nature. A Very peaceful environment. Go in morning as its cooler. Only issue is it's a bit of a walk from lattes tram stop but its on quiet path and we'll worth a visit.

    Gothic style roman catholic cathedral which is a must if you are in Montpelier. There are guided tours, but you will be fine also by yourself.

    It’s FREE and belongs to the University! However, parts of it are only open intermittently and our visit did not coincide with those times, so we missed the medicinal study collections.There are some large (locked) glass houses, seemingly sheltering cacti. We saw a couple of frogs in a pond, and there is a bamboo grove. A shady place, but rather overgrown. Some few remains of an earlier garden. By October, most of the flowering plants were over, but we did see a couple of colourful pomegranates on a tree. Sadly the upper entrance was shut, so we had to walk back to the lower one to leave.

    My daughter and I loved the self-guided garden tour (we did not do the house or wine tour). The garden in front of the house is a traditional, formal French garden, but when you go the the side gardens, you see many other plants, trees, etc. There’s even a vegetable garden oasis in the back, with chickens. We had been in the city for a couple days, so this green sanctuary was a peaceful way to spend our time.

    My wife and I visited Montpellier during and excursion on a Viking Ocean Cruise last November. It was a lovely city but the on and off rain spoiled some of our enjoyment. We saw the Arch de Triumph at a distance but the weather prevented us from walking to the site. We liked much of the architecture downtown. Hopefully, we can visit again during good weather because I like the vibe of the city.

    A good place for refreshments, photo taking.
    I like taking a walk there just to admire the beautiful view of the surrounding.

    It’s a fairly small mall compared to others I have been too ( London / LA) it’s worth a visit was surprised I could not find any shops that sold Montpellier souvenirs , maybe that’s was elsewhere . Worth a visit . But I would say the Odyseum probably better

    Walked through here several times as our hotel was nearby in Antigone district. Neoclassical buildings look impressive and views to river Lez impressive.
