A Sunday in Montpellier

On a beautiful Sunday morning, meet at Halles Laissac.

While taking the time to chat, discover the city seen yesterday from the rooftops and its famous Babotte Tower.

Then stop to contemplate the superb trompe-l’oeil in front of the Trattoria.

To be found at the foot of the Saint Côme amphitheatre, which was used for a long time by the College of Medicine to perform its autopsies.

On the other side of the square, enjoy the front of the Justin Boch house.

Pass together in front of the Commandery well.

Marvel at the architectural genius of the city and be struck by the concept of the shell to trim the corners of the houses.

Go up the rue Foch and emerge opposite the Arc de Triomphe.

Visit the tea shop in the Peyrou garden.

Order a mint-lemon-pine nut tea.

Celebrating friendship over a cup of tea.

Marvel at the Aqueduct at the foot of which the famous photo of Jean Moulin was taken.

Admire the architecture and its reflections.

Go hunting together on the Peyrou esplanade.

Stroll, look, remember, project…

Take a look at the Plant Garden of the Medical University.

Take time to admire the buds.

Being amazed by the power of nature.

Savour the wonders that appear.

Get excited about pottery that blends into the garden.

Enjoy the play of light and shadow created by the stairs.

Go back up to the Peyrou promenade and stop to listen to a group of musicians.

Head to the foodtrucks for lunch.

Go around the trucks and think about what you want to eat.

Be amazed by the ingenuity of these street vendors.

Decide on mussels and chips.

Over a brasucade, get to know friends of friends and have a great time talking about migrants, homelessness, migration policies, our commitments, our jobs, our respective indignities…

After lunch, walk through the streets of the city.

Admire the small cool places…

…facades and balcony ironwork. …

…the streets that go up and down…

…rounded cornices and balconies decorated with fruit.

In the afternoon, relax at the beach.

Dreaming while looking at the sky…

…and the surfers on the burning sea.

Imagine a whale suddenly emerging from the water.

Move to the shelter of the fences.

Search for shells.

Enjoying the reflection of the sun on the sand.

Snooping around, looking for serpentines, these green stones originating from Corsica which, according to legend, protected against many evils.

Contemplating together the sails in the sky and on the sea.

In the evening, leave the beach by the big stairs.

To catch a glimpse of the city in the distance.

Follow the flight of the seagulls.

Distinguishing a wader fishing in the sunlight. To think that friendship is precious and that it is good to share time together.
