French Courses in Montpellier: about Montpellier, France
Learn French in Montpellier – where the sun never sets
Born at the dawn of the 11th century, today Montpellier embarks upon her third millennium, enriched by ten centuries of history: sometimes tumultuous, sometimes dramatic, often brilliant, and always out of the ordinary! Situated in the center of the Languedoc-Roussillon, surrounded by cities and which date back from antiquity, Montpellier stands out as an exception. The city may be over 1000 years old, but she is undoubtedly the most dynamic and vital of the region.
During the Middle Ages, Montpellier began to develop with stunning rapidity. Within a few centuries, she developed from a simple agricultural domain into a first-class educational, economic, and cultural capital. Despite occasional eclipses, Montpellier succeeded in maintaining and developing the role of capital of the Bas-Languedoc. The 18th century was an exceptionally profitable period for the city.
«La belle Méditerranéenne» thus received a rich inheritance. Visitors from all horizons have made it a country of tolerance. Its scholars have taught respect for culture and knowledge. In more recent times, the flow of new populations, the privileged geographical situation and the prestigious institutions of higher learning have given Montpellier a new lease on life. From her compelling history to current day change and vitality, the dynamic quality of Montpellier remains a constant.
Montpellier highlights:
- Centrally located in the South of France, at the heart of Camargue, between Provence and the Pyrenees
- Average of 300 days of sun per year
- A few miles away from the Mediterranean
- One of the most dynamic and cosmopolitan cities in France
