Montpellier
Montpellier is the 8th largest city in France, but is not as often frequented by international tourists as places like Paris and Nice. Although Montpellier is a larger city, it retains many of the charming elements of much smaller Medieval towns, including beautiful town squares, ancient architecture, and wooded hills and trails surrounding the city. Some sights that are a must when visiting Montpellier include the 14th century St Pierre Cathedral, and the oldest botanical garden in France, founded in 1593.
