Exquisitely poised along the Mediterranean, Montpellier is one of France’s most dynamic southern cities. The history of the Montpellier will direct you to Place de la Comédie, which has served as the heartbeat and host of the city’s most prominent historical events. Place de la Comédie formally was known as l’OEuf or “the egg”, for its oblong shape still stands today as the central square of Montpellier. Bustling with energetic students, creative street performers and international travelers, Place de la Comédie is full of excitement and beauty. With colorful trams, Castries white stone buildings, gorgeous Haussmann exteriors, and the Fontaine des Trois Grâcese (Fountain of the Three Graces) the heart of Montpellier is a sight to behold.
