The historic centre of Montpellier is full of architectural and cultural treasures, such as the Place de la Comédie, the Cathedral of Saint-Pierre and the Tour de la Babote.

In particular, the view of the sunset from the beautiful Place du Peyrou leaves a wonderful memory.

The city of Montpellier is known for its lively nightlife and its many bars and discos. Foreign immersion students can enjoy the festive atmosphere throughout the city centre and near the beaches. This allows them to familiarise themselves with the French language and culture in a more natural way ;-)
