As one of the largest urban centres in Occitania, Montpellier is the pulsing heart of the Hérault department. Home to 299,096 residents, the city's populace swells with the addition of its large student population, thanks to the University of Montpellier - one of the most ancient medical schools still in operation. Since the ‘90s, the city has witnessed phenomenal economic and demographic growth, earning it the nickname "The Gifted".

Known for its multicultural dynamism, Montpellier boasts a rich mix of Spanish, Occitan, Moroccan, Algerian, and Italian communities. This cultural mosaic is made accessible thanks to a well-oiled transport network, including a tramline, high-speed TGV trains, and its own airport.

When to visit Montpellier

Montpellier's Mediterranean climate ensures good weather from April to November making it an ideal destination for most of the year. If you wish to soak up the sun, July and August are the warmest months offering the perfect opportunity for a dip in the sea. Conversely, travellers looking to avoid the heat might find the cooler months of January and February more to their liking.

Keep in mind that late autumn -specifically October and November- can get a bit rainy, perfect for those who prefer quiet strolls with a bit of drizzle in the air. But if a beach holiday is on your mind, the months of August and September are the best for making a splash in the Mediterranean Sea.
