Live & Studying in Montpellier

Along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea in Southern France, Montpellier is a middle-sized city which benefits from a sunny climate and is perfectly situated between mountains and the sea. Montpellier is a lively and surprising city in the heart of the Occitanie region with a well-preserved historical environment and a rich cultural life, nestled between the sea, vineyards and mountain landscapes.

Urban and cultural destination of the first rank, Montpellier has combined the facilities of a big city to the Mediterranean lifestyle: vast spaces and tree-lined walkways, medieval streets, mansions of the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries, fragrant markets without forgetting the multitude of lively cafés and terraces, the Fabre museum, the zoo's Amazonian greenhouse, the new district of Odysseum ...

Montpellier houses also the oldest university of medicine in Europe still in service.

The city is also famous for being the youngest of France: one in five residents is a student, with a high rate of internationals coming from all over the world. This input makes Montpellier a city that moves, which vibrates naturally !

Above all, Montpellier and its envrionment are a destination where the quality of life is high. More than ever, Montpellier is an attractive city to see, study and enjoy.
