MONTPELLIER - Montpellier

On the outskirts of the Ecusson (the name given to the historic center because of its shape), the Promenade du Peyrou, laid out to contain the statue of Louis XIV on horseback, is one of the favourite places of the people of Montpellier. The arc de triomphe and thechâteau d'eau (water tower), extend into the aqueduct and are models of classical.
