City: Montpellier

Montpellier is a vibrant city located in the south of France, renowned for its rich medieval history and its role as one of the country's leading university and medical centers. Founded in the Middle Ages, it combines an old town full of Gothic and Renaissance architecture with modern and avant-garde neighborhoods such as Antigone, designed by architect Ricardo Bofill. Its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, just 10 km away, gives it a mild Mediterranean climate and a dynamic life between beaches, culture and technology. The city stands out for its modern tram that connects its different areas, reflecting a balance between tradition and modernity.
