Guide to Montpellier

Montpellier differs from many cities in this part of the world in that it has no Roman heritage, but was founded by the Counts of Toulouse in the 10th century. It subsequently became a wealthy trading port and seat of learning ̶ the first medical school in Europe opened here in the 12th century. It’s now France’s youngest (by average citizen age) and fastest-growing city, where historic buildings meet modern street art, and beaches, vineyards and mountains are within striking distance.
