Montpellier, France's Place de la Comedie features a statue of the Three Graces

Montpellier, France's Place de la Comedie features a statue of the Three Graces and a historic Opera building.

Michael Carr
Montpellier is charming and alluring, and is a lesser-known French capital city (serving as capital of Languedoc). Right on the border of the Languedoc and Provence regions, this southern city is urban and rich in history. It's also blessed with sunshine almost every day of the year.

Don't Miss: Place de la Comedie, Faculty of Medicine and La Promenade Royale du Peyrou
