Waterways: Montpellier is not known for large navigable waterways, but it does have the Lez River running through the city. The Lez River is not very wide, but it adds a scenic element to the cityscape.
Bridges: Several bridges span the Lez River and connect different parts of Montpellier. The most notable bridge is the Pont Saint-Clément. This historic bridge is characterized by its arches and provides a picturesque view of the river and surrounding areas.
Main Streets: Montpellier’s city center is characterized by narrow medieval streets, charming squares, and elegant boulevards. The main square is the Place de la Comédie, a large square with the Opera Comédie building at one end and the Three Graces Fountain at the other. Some of the main streets and boulevards in Montpellier include:
- Place de la Comédie: The central square, often referred to as the heart of the city.
- Rue de la Loge: A historic street with shops and restaurants, leading from Place de la Comédie to the old town.
