After the reformation, it became a protestant stronghold and was besieged by King Louis XIII. Under Louis XIV, the town became regional capital with grand buildings constructed.</p><p>Nowadays, Montpellier is an important education centre with around one third of its population being students at its 3 universities and other higher education institutes. Tourists are drawn here for its beautiful architecture, relaxed cafe culture, excellent shopping opportunities, pleasant summertime weather and modest gay scene.</p><h2></h2><h2>Gay Rights in France</h2><p>For information about gay rights in France, please see our <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/essential-guide-to-paris/">Gay Paris City Guide</a> page.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Gay Scene</h2><p>Due to the big student population, Montpellier is full of young open-minded people.

One way tickets cost €1.40 and are valid for an hour. A 24 hour travel ticket costs €3.80. Tickets can be purchased from machines at the stops or from the bus drivers.

Bus services are regular during the week but noticeably infrequent on Sundays. There is a night bus service, L'Amigo, that takes you to the nightclubs on the outskirts of the city centre.</p><p><strong>By taxi</strong></p><p>Compared to other cities it is quite hard to actually hail a taxi from the side of the road. It is best to pre-order a taxi in advance. Most restaurants, bars and hotels will be happy to order a taxi for you. Always discuss the price of the journey before setting off and remember that evenings, weekends and public holidays are always more expensive.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Where to Stay in Montpellier</h2><p>Montpellier has a large selection of hotels to suit all budgets.

Designed by the Spanish architect Ricardo Borfil, this area has a whole host of cafes, restaurants and bars to relax in as you take in the neoclassical architecture.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>When to Visit</h2><p>Spring is probably the best time to visit as the weather is very pleasant and does not reach the unbearable highs that quite often happen in summer. Winters are cool and crisp with temperatures averaging around 11 degrees which is pleasant compared to destinations further north. In summer the city sees a massive influx of tourists.</p><p>There are a variety of cultural events in the Montpellier calendar. Cinemed is the second largest film festival in France (after Cannes) and is held every October.  The Festival de Radio France et Montpellier is July's classical musical festival and is very popular.
