💨 Abstract

Montpellier, known as the "gifted" city on France's Mediterranean coast, offers a vibrant contrast to Paris. It's the fastest-growing French city with a rich history and sunny weather. Key attractions include the medieval Écusson district with its medieval alleys, ornate fountains, and Europe's oldest medical school. Don’t miss the Marché des Arceaux market under the Arceaux Aqueduct and nearby Musée Fabre art museum.
