Montpellier Holidays

City breaks to Montpellier

Montpellier is a charming city close to the Mediterranean coast in the ever-glamorous south of France. This place boasts a rich cultural and historical heritage – you can take in the sites in the Medieval old town, which is packed with plenty of museums, art galleries and gardens. After dark, a lively student population means a night sampling the streets of bars and restaurants is never far away. Finish off your stay by relaxing in the sand and sunshine on the beaches, which are just a short bus or tram ride away.

Wander around the Musée Fabre

The Fabre Museum was founded back in 1825 by painter François-Xavier Fabre and to this day, it hosts a huge showcase of European art. You’ll be able to admire everything from Greek vases to modern-day paintings, and feast your eyes on work by Rubens, Delacroix and Poussin, which form part of the permanent collection. Find it right in the city centre, next to the Esplanade Charles-de-Gaulle central park.
