Montpellier and Chateau de l’Engarran
A cultural and academic hub in the Languedoc wine region, Montpellier has a youthful, lively ambience thanks to its large student population and many festivals. Your exploration begins in the Place de la Comedie, the pedestrian-only central square built in the 1700s. Nicknamed L’Oeuf (the egg), it is one of the largest in Europe, home to the iconic Three Graces fountain and landmark buildings like the Opéra Comédie, a grand Italian-style theater.
