Top 10 Architectural Buildings in Montpellier, Occitanie
Getting sick on vacation is a major drag, but if you have to be under the weather, Montpellier is an ideal place to do it. People have studied medicine here for centuries—the Moors established medical schools in the 9th century, and the Université Montpellier’s school of medicine was founded in 1220. Once the local docs give you a clean bill of health, explore the cathedral, mansions and opera house.

On the outskirts of Montpellier, the Chateau forms a cohesive whole with its French formal park and the 60 hectares of vines that surround it. All the architectural details of this 18th-century “Folly” (Monuments Historiques) point to the domain’s wine-growing role and its dedication to women and love, often reflected in the labels on each cuvee, which show the wines’ historical ties.

A nice district where you can walk around and enjoy life. Nice restaurants and a farmers market on Wednesdays. The buildings are nice and built in a style you could think they were older than they are. It's nice to walk through Antigone all the way down to the river Lez.
