Send a Parcel to Montpellier, France
You may not know it but the fastest growing city in France for the past 25 years has been Montpellier. It lies on the beautiful south coast of France on the Mediterranean Sea. It’s virtually unique in being a city that has no Roman foundation to its history. The city sits on the River Lez some 6 miles inland from the Med. Its climate is one of hot dry summers, and mild but damp winters.
The 19th century saw the city develop into an industrial hub. Another major change occurred when the French relinquished control of Algeria as many French settlers from there came to live in Montpellier. Around 530,000 people now live in the city or surrounding area.
It has had a diverse population over the years with many different religions working in harmony, but it has always had strong ties to Spain and today it continues to have a large Spanish population.
The Place de la Comedie is the city’s main square and the place to be seen, it can be found in the historic centre, which unusually has a high number of hotels located in it.
Of note is that the University of Montpellier is one of the Worlds oldest being founded in 1160.
When it comes to sport Montpellier has previously hosted stages of the Tour de France, and is home to the famous Montpellier HSC football team.
The city features a wide range of cultural events all year round and of note is the Festival de Radio France et Montpellier, which hosts 150 events based around opera and music.
