Photos Post No. 2 - Montpellier!

As you should all know, Montpellier was the very gorgeous town that we all stayed in! Here is a random assortment of photos that I chose in an attempt to show you the best bits...

Montpellier's cute little streets - and gorgeous Christmas decorations!! (and Cyz of course!)

The Christmas tree in la Place de la Comedie - we all thought it was kind of ugly, but here is a photo anyway! Rue de la Loge at night
The Esplanade by night - pretty!

Rue Foch and the mini Arc-de-Triomphe. Rue Foch and Rue de la Loge made up the main street of Montpellier - leading from the Arc down to the centre of all the action - La Place de La Comedie!

The fountain - Les Trois Graces (i think), in La Place de la Comedie
The Piano Man - Playing on Rue de la Loge

The Carousel - we never went on it - very sad.


This interesting staircase in the courtyard of some building - one of the coolest things about Montpellier is that there is awesome architecture hidden all over the place, and many of these buildings allow you to wander in and have a look!



Louis - I think we decided some of the best chocolate croissants in Montpellier - and their other cakes, tarts, pastries were also very very good!The markets along the esplanade many days of the week. Fruit and veg, bread, clothes, shoes, underwear, bags, rugs etc. etc.Emma and Mia standing by the little creek in the park just in front of le lycee. The creek actually went over the path (there was a little bridge and stepping stones) and there was normally ducks - it was all very pleasant!
