Moments in Montpellier, France

Montpellier was one of my favorites. Our Airbnb was located in the popular square, Place de la Comedie, which was bustling with lots of activity. The unique, colorful trams rode through the square. Each design signifies a different route. My goal was to find the streets with the umbrellas, but once again, going in the off-season made it a bust. However, walking the streets did not disappoint. They were filled with old-world charm, and some were very artistic. We enjoyed the way artists transformed their murals created on the sides of buildings into works of art.

This town has its own mini Arch de Triumph named Porte de Peyrou. The aqueducts were architectural wonders as they stood proudly over many centuries. The skill and the exorbitant amount of time it took to create these magnificent buildings and structures are amazing.

Montpellier was the first town I was able to visit a restaurant offering gluten-free entrees. La Sheri’s ambiance was delightful and charming. My meal of mushroom risotto and Mitch’s scallops was fabulous. The walk back to the Airbnb was peaceful as the street were quiet and dimly lit, but the atmosphere changed once we entered the square. It came alive as it was filled with people eating in outdoor cafes, music filling the air, and everyone just enjoying the end of another beautiful day.
