About Montpellier
Montpellier, a small town in the south of France, is under the influence of the Mediterranean climate, though not by the sea. The temperature is around 9-10 degrees Celsius in the winter and 24-26 degrees Celsius in the summer. The city is known as one of France's university and student cities due to its intensive student population. Although there are no direct flights from Turkey, it can be reached directly from nearby cities like Marseille, Nice or Lyon.
Comedy Square and Pyrou Square are among the areas where life is most vivid in the city. Especially in France, café culture has developed very much, and it is a classical French style to have long conversations by sitting on the streets, especially in the summer months. There are many restaurants in Montpellier, especially those offering outstanding examples of French and European cuisine.
One of the most beautiful things to do in Montpellier is to wander around the many historical and tourist towns in the vicinity. Nice, Cannes and Marseille come to the front with their unique architecture and beauty among the cities close to Montpellier.
