Place de la Comédie
Montpellier's city living room, a pedestrian square framed by an opera house and the Fountain of the Three Graces. It is the starting point for strolling the old town.
Place de la Comédie is one of the largest pedestrian squares in Europe. At its north end stands the 19th-century Opéra Comédie, and at its center is the Fountain of the Three Graces. Surrounding it are Haussmann-style buildings and cafés, and to the north it connects to the shaded greenery of Avenue Charles de Gaulle. The square is open all day. Tram lines 1 and 2 meet here. It is the starting point for exploring the old town and the Antigone district. Watch your belongings at night.
