place du peyrou






In Louis XIV day the Place du Peyrou was the highest point in Montpellier. In fact no building could be higher than the statue of Louis on his horse! It's still has a Versailles like feel about the space, with it's formal avenues of trees and grand statues.
It's also a great place to sit and look out over the roof tops of Montpellier.

  8. sekimachihato - actually i don't know the significance of the calendar. i like the idea of matching months though.

    patrice - il y a quelque part à montpellier que tu n'reconnais pas?!
    ce n'est pas vrai :)
    mais c'est dans la place du peyrou.
