Promenade du Peyrou

This long, raised esplanade extends out from the city center towards the Arceaux district. Ornamented with a triumph arch, the Promenade du Peyrou offers a far-fetching panorama of its scenic environs. The views from the promenade stretch from the Mediterranean to Pic St Loup and beyond, towards the gorges of the Herault to the north of the city. Thanks to its higher elevation above the city of eternal sunshine Montpellier, many visitors find that it is the perfect spot to relax in the calming setting away from the bustle. In fact, the promenade has been a popular rendezvous point and a socio-cultural hub since 1689. Visitors can stroll under the shade of ancient sycamores, explore the weekly antique fair, or enjoy a picnic.
