Historic Streets of Montpellier, France<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The long-time capital of Languedoc-Roussillon, Montpellier<\/a> has steadily maintained its well-deserved reputation of one of France\u2019s youngest and most multi-national cities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The only major town in the region founded after the Ancient Times, Montpellier has never lost its lust for growth since its medieval beginnings.\u00a0 Accordingly, it has forever attracted youngsters and foreigners thanks to its prestigious schools, global-minded companies and cultural vitality.\u00a0 Add to that an ideal location between the Alps and the Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es bathed by an unbeatable Mediterranean climate and you have an all-around winner.<\/p>\n

One of Montpellier\u2019s most compelling jewels, these days, the Agropolis museum<\/strong> presents an exhibit that promises to enlighten its audience about \u201cThe Mediterranean: world of spices, garden of aromas\u201d (M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e : terre d\u2019\u00e9pices, jardin d\u2019ar\u00f4mes).\u00a0 Prized for their medicinal and savory virtues, spices have always been a never-ending source of wonders, and you\u2019ll be able to learn all about them with not only fun reproductions of ancient exotic homes and gardens, but also through seminars, workshops and activities for the kids.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re done with the educational stuff, you can guiltlessly enjoy the \u201cCasanova Forever\u201d project<\/strong>. For this occasion, numerous artistic endeavors all over town and beyond allow locals and visitors to find out more about one of history\u2019s most fascinating characters: Casanova.\u00a0 Just know that the great seducer will not wait forever though, and this closes early October.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeling a bit nostalgic for home, go check out the \u201cAmerican Dream\u201d exhibit at the Pavillon populaire<\/strong>. There, you\u2019ll be able to peruse some unusual photos of America by American photographers.\u00a0 After all, what\u2019s a little bit of patriotic pride when traveling abroad?<\/p>\n
