Montpellier by Day and Night

Cap d'Agde, though it is a lovely little town, it does not have the European feel that I was expecting. My dad and I both agree that Cap d'Agde resembles a Cuban resort or the Fort Lauderdale area.

It is a bright and beautiful little town, but I was somewhat disappointed because it isn't the Europe that I know. 

Thank God for Montpellier.

Just one shot train ride away and I'm in a magnificently aged Montpellier.

My father and I went on Sunday, to try and figure out his train ticket back to Paris. After doing so, we walked around.

I love the idea of having street trams rights through the middle of the city, especially when they are as colourful as these ones!

We bought baguette sandwiches from these (very friendly) French men.

I also love the intricate and sophisticated architecture of the buildings.

We should still take the time (and money) today to turn buildings into pieces of art.

Montpellier had this wonderful Christmas tree in the center of the town square.

By Night:

(We just had to take another trip to Montpellier in the night to see all the beautiful lights lit.)

There was a wonderful carousel that has been in the town square for twenty-one years.

(My dad and I think it is older than that, though)

By Day:

By Night:

A main pedestrian walk just off of the town square, filled with gorgeous shops, (many of them designer!)

To conclude, it is easy for me to say that Montpellier, though beautiful both day and night, it the dark it has a certain je ne sais quoi about it.
