When looking for somewhere warm and friendly to go to in France, you can do worse than try out Montpellier, not maybe as well known as Marseille or Cannes, but probably a better place to soak up the warm Mediterranean sunshine and friendly atmosphere with its vast of array of bars and restaurants to choose from. The first place to see is De La Comedie (town Square), in this square is the Grand Théatre, one of the finest theaters in France, built by Victor Louis in 1773-1780. It has a colonnaded front with 12 Corinthian columns topped by a balustraded gallery bearing 12 statues of Muses and goddesses. The main house, the staircases, foyers and smaller halls are splendidly decorated.
From Square to the Corum, this is a walk shaded by the many plane trees, embellished with pools, fountains, games areas and seats. On the right is the Champs de Mars, a former military terrain converted into a public garden in 1900. And you can rest on one of the many benches, you will see a lovely place to spend the afternoon and is very popular with locals and tourists alike.
With a population of 350,000, Montpellier has a long history as a university town and today welcomes over 60,000 students every year. The city is characterized by a youthful energy. Montpellier has a young and dynamic cultural center, hosts numerous exhibitions and events throughout the year, notably at the Corum (Palais des Congrès), the theater, the Zenith and numerous other rock venues, the Musée Fabre gallery, cinema complexes, an ice skating rink.
And you can also go to another place, seaside town of Palavas, not far away from Montpellier, which is so beautiful and is a must for a day trip. It is well served by the local bus and only about thirty minutes drive. Here you can sit and watch the fishermen offloading there fresh catch of the day and soak up the Mediterranean sunshine whilst. Of course, delicious seafood is a must too.If you come early enough in the morning, you will see the splendid sight of the pink flamingos which is a truly wonderful sight to behold. No matter where you choose to stay, Palavas or Montpellier, either way you will not be disappointed. For more information about traveling; please have a look at http://affordable-cruises-tours.com.
