a wonderful starting point in Southern France

I first went to Montpellier to study in Paul Valery University, in 1993. ..Time goes so quickly! It's already more than 10 years ago!

When I was there at fist, I was mostly interested to make the most of my free time by travelling to as many places around Southern France, as I financially could.

Then I as attracted by this town. Because of its universities,one can meet many lovely people from all sorts of places. And the town is embracing this phenomenon. The local people are now used to all these foreigners taht are visiting their homeplace,some for 3-4 years, some for just brief holidays.

Montpellier is primarily a University town, just like Cambridge: its University dates back to the 12th century. But it combines this historic past with a vibrant modern town that embraces the youth that comes and goes from this place.

I have so many things i'd like to share with anyone that will happen to read this page, I just don't know where to start.

I am not famous for being organised so it will take some time to assemble this page.
Bienvenus to my own piece of Montpellier...
