Place de la Comédie

Since the 18th century, Place de la Comédie – located at the doorway of the Écusson district – has been the beating heart of Montpellian life. Opera lovers will want to learn more about the programming at the Comédie theatre, whose facade dominates one end of this vast pedestrian area lined with cafes and restaurants. Many events are held at this square every year, from the Christmas market to the Fête de la Musique. But performances aren’t limited to official events. Dancers, musicians and numerous other buskers are frequently seen around the Three Graces Fountain, which personifies beauty, joy and celebration.
