The Ecusson, the historical center of Montpellier, has indescribable charm with architecture and historical landmarks everywhere, but also cool bars, squares and restaurants.
In the close neighborhood of the appartement, the Saint-Pierre cathedral (with its twin convivial pillars and its 12 chapels) and the school of Médecine together make a unique architectural unit. A bit further is the famous (and hype) Canourgue square or the promenade du Pérou with its 300-years old arch of Triumph.
300m away, the "jardin des Plantes", commissioned by king Henry the IVth in 1593, is one of the oldest public gardens in France.
--
Tram station "Albert 1er-Cathedrale" is 200m away
Tram station "Place Albert 1er-Saint Charles" is 400m away
Parking Effia Montpellier Arc de Triomphe 4min away
Parking Perou Pitot 5min away
Gare de Montpellier Saint-Roch 15min away

Our flat is on the 3rd and 4th floors of an old building. The stairs inside the building can be quite steep so this rental is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE or PEOPLE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES.

Amazing stay

Loved the property. Old building but apartment renovated. Spectacular views of the cathedral right in front. Has all facilities as described and bonus air conditioning units really appreciated, although using shutters kept the apartment surprisingly cool. Vibrant restaurants and bars a short walk away as was the tram line. We would return in a heartbeat. Owner communication, checkin very professional.

This third floor walk up (You are in France, remember) is adorable, well equipped, and PERFECTLY located. I was there for two weeks by myself for French language school before my husband joined me for another two weeks. Everything you need or want is nearby and convenient. Just a short walk to Place de la Comedie and across the street from the Jardin des Plantes. The stairs to the apartment and the second bedroom are steep so this apartment will not work for those with mobility issues. I hope to stay there again next year as I continue my studies.

Excellent location!

We had a wonderful stay in Montpellier. We greatly enjoyed the view of the cathedral from the apartment window and hearing the bells. The kitchen was smaller than we prefer but the apartment is well located for walking to many sights, restaurants, cafes and more. We had no trouble with climbing the stairs to the top floor and, overall, we really enjoyed our stay. We had easy communication with the host prior to our stay, and we will definitely return to Montpellier. Thank you!!

Romantic and spacious loft in an incredible neighborhood

The flat is exactly what the pictures show, large, with two separate bedrooms, each with a space that can be conveniently used as an office if you are a professional traveler. The view on the cathedral and place Saint-Pierre is stunning. Everything from small shops to groceries restaurants and bars is within walking distance. You can walk to the St Roch train station or take the tram. The neighborhood is quiet (which is quite a miracle in the historical quarter). Conversation with the owner on Whatsapp is very easy, the check in process is smooth. I had a great time and I will come again with some friends if I have the opportunity.

Appartement très bien situé dans le centre historique de Montpellier, spacieux, lumineux et décoré avec goût. La literie est particulièrement confortable et le chauffage efficace en période hivernale. La cuisine est petite mais fonctionnelle. Une suggestion : un meuble ou des étagères pour le rangement alimentaire. Le propriétaire est très attentif. Nous recommandons cette location.

About the host

Hosted by Jean-Francois DUCHER

Host profile image
I am a French composer , mixologist and digital artist living in Paris.

A lover of Montpellier, I own a flat there, in the heart of the historical quarter (Ecusson), on a quiet and charming square near the cathedral. I spent the Covid lockdowns in that flat and I enjoyed it very much.

I hope you will like it just as much as I did !

Why they chose this property

L'Ecusson, the historic center of Montpellier, has an indescribable charm, with an exceptional density of historical monuments and lively squares with numerous bars and restaurants.
Immediately in front of our windows is the Saint-Pierre cathedral (with its original architecture, its two pillars, its towers and its 12 chapels) and the medical school in a row.

Going up rue Saint-Pierre, the famous Place de la Canourgue where a Relais & Châteaux (l'hôtel Richer de Belleval) has opened, then the promenade du Pérou with its 300-year-old Arc de Triomphe.
At the end of the medical school square, it is good to walk in the "Jardin des Plantes" in the shade of trees several hundred years old. Sponsored by King Henry IV in 1593, it is one of the oldest public gardens in France.

What makes this property unique

This property is ideal for staycation and remote working, as well as for a discovery of the historical center of Montpellier. Contrary to most flats in this historical perimeter, this apartment has a lot of sun and unobstructed views of the surroundings (also meaning : better intimacy). Regarding noise : there is just one restaurant on the square and it closes early in the evening .
