\"Montpellier,In the heart of the Languedoc Roussillon region, among all the\u00a0South of France events<\/a> is Montpellier, a dynamic city known for its intellectual life centered around the University, one of the oldest in the country. <\/strong>Though a far cry from the pastoral Provencal villages nearby, Montpellier is worth seeing for its own more cosmopolitan attractions.<\/p>\n

The city boasts diverse examples of architecture representing a tour through history:\u00a0 the 12th century Mikv\u00e9 is one of the oldest Jewish baths in Europe; a 13th century Benedictine monastery became the Faculty of Medicine in 1289, Europe\u2019s oldest medical school. From the 14th century, Saint Pierre Cathedral still stands as the only church to have survived the religious wars. And at the heart of historic Montpellier are over 70 private mansions, examples of classic 17th and 18th century architecture, which are open to visitors.\u00a0 Surrounding Montpellier are grand buildings, lit beautifully at night.\u00a0 One is the famous Place de la Com\u00e9die, the focal point of the city, which\u00a0 houses the statue of the Three Graces, the symbolic Greek \u201cgoddesses\u201d of the city.\u00a0 Two opera houses, the Op\u00e9ra Berlioz and the Op\u00e9ra Com\u00e9die, are home to famous orchestras and\u00a0 many year-round performances.\u00a0 Modern design is also a part of Montpellier, displayed in the city\u2019s Antigone district which was designed in 1979 by Catalonian architect Ricardo Bofill.<\/p>\n

This district incorporates 20th century stylistic elements reminiscent of Eastern bloc countries- quite a contrast from the ornate and grand buildings in the historic center of Montpellier. <\/strong>Apart from the buildings, the city has its own \u201cisland of green,\u201d the oldest botanical garden in France, complete with a research garden and a forest school for botanists.<\/p>\n
