Explore Montpellier
Montpellier pairs a compact, hilly old centre with broad modern districts stretching toward the Lez. Start in the Écusson for medieval streets, then compare it with Antigone's planned avenues.

Keep exploring Montpellier with our travel partners.
The shift between the Écusson, Place de la Comédie and Antigone makes Montpellier unusually easy to read on foot. The old streets hold the cathedral and remnants of the city walls, while the open spaces east of the centre show a very different chapter of its growth.
What to look for
The Écusson's narrow streets occupy the historic centre inside the former wall line.
Place de la Comédie opens the centre toward the Esplanade and Musée Fabre.
Antigone's monumental classical forms lead toward the River Lez.
Useful to know
Allow extra time for the old centre's slopes and occasional stepped streets.
Use Place de la Comédie as a starting point for the Écusson or the Esplanade.
