Montpellier City Walk - Guided tour

We invite all participants to join a guided tour that will be organized in cooperation with the Tourist Office of Montpellier.

This guided tour will offer a fantastic way to explore the charm of the city and provide in-depth stories about Montpellier's growth from a medieval trading hub to a university city, and today to a modern metropolitan area. Let’s wander through the narrow, winding streets and explore the city’s must-see landmarks, such as the Place de la Comédie, the Arc de Triomphe or the Saint-Pierre Cathedral, as well as the intricate facades, hidden courtyards and ornate balconies of Montpellier private mansions. The Montpellier tour will not only reveal the history and architecture of the city, but also lets you soak in the laid-back Mediterranean lifestyle that makes Montpellier so captivating.
The Montpellier tour is covered by the conference fee; however, please be sure to reserve your spot when registering.
