Montpellier Mini Guide

Montpellier - Méditerranée Airport (or Fréjorgues Airport) is an airport located in southern France. Located in the Mauguio commune in southwest France, close to the town of Montpellier, the airport caters to almost 1½ million passengers annually. Many passengers who use the airport are budget travelers taking advantage of the cheap flights offered by the low cost budget airlines that serve the airport.

The city of Montpellier itself is situated on hilly land, less than 10 km from the Mediterranean coast. The city once teemed with traders from many different countries dealing in exotic spices from Egypt - it now abounds with the students who attend its prestigious university. The student population in the city is good news for tourists who endeavour to holiday in Montpellier on a budget - university towns and cities tend to cater to students by offering deals and discounts in many bars and shops, as well as cheap and cheerful restaurants and cafés.

Things to see/do in Montpellier

The focal point of the city is the Place de la Comédie. Those in the know may refer to it as l'Ouef, a reference to its oblong shape. The Place de la Comédie is a vast marble-paved open square, and is the heart of Montpellier's city centre. The lovely Three Graces fountain is the centerpiece of the square, while one end is bordered by the elaborate nineteenth century Opéra. At the other end is the charming tree-lined Esplanade Charles de Gaulle, a gorgeous boulevard leading to the Corum concert hall. Playing chess on the oversized boards on the Esplanade is a surefire way to while away some relaxing hours (without touching your budget). An accessible roof on the concert hall provides a marvelous panorama over the city centre.

The Musée Fabré is the city's principal museum that underwent massive refurbishment recently and is home to a hoard of significant and esthetic paintings. Montpellier's cathedral is another sight worth mentioning - an imposing medieval porch shields the main entrance to Cathedral Saint Pierre, and the stained glass and art inside make this admission-free attraction a perfect addition to the itinerary of anyone looking for a cheap vacation.

The Promenade de Peyrou makes for an idyllic summertime stroll. Linger by the magnolia-filled formal gardens, and check out the two-tiered arches of the Aqueduct. Here can be found a daily fruit and veg market selling low cost, delicious produce. Pick up a punnet of plump cherries or strawberries to munch as you amble down the promenade towards Montpellier's Arc de Triomphe. On Saturdays the fruit and veg market becomes an extensive flea market, full of discount items and cheap deals for the bargain-hunter or budget shopper.

Eating out/nightlife in Montpellier

There is a pleasing selection of casual and reasonably priced restaurants in Montpellier, catered to the city's large student population. Those in search of low cost dining options will not be left wanting - if budget is a factor when choosing a restaurant, stick to the unfussy bistros and cafés where you can enjoy honest, tasty French fare at affordable prices.

The presence of the university has also resulted in an energetic club and bar scene, which continues to the early hours of the morning. Around the Place de la Comédie you will find a number of watering holes with a lively clientele. Oxymore and Cargo are two clubs where cheap drinks are offered, offering R&B and dance music respectively. Again, a night out in Montpellier will not do too much damage to your funds as businesses here accommodate the student population's desire for a low cost social scene.
