Day 1 – The Culture Day

Musée Fabre

Montpellier’s best museum is located in the center of the city, close to the Place de la Comédie, and hides the most awe-inspiring artworks from different eras.

To celebrate the four hundredth anniversary of the birth of Molière, the Fabre Museum paid tribute to the famous playwright by presenting two works from the collections: The Man with Black Ribbons by Sébastien Bourdon and the Bust of Molière by Jean Antoine Houdon.

The Museum’s artworks include 1,800 paintings, more than 5,000 drawings, engravings and prints, 300 sculptures, and the list goes on… This is the perfect place to get inspired!

Pretty impressive, huh? Nevertheless, we all know that Montpellier’s best art is… on the streets:

The city of the secret stairs hides more secrets than you can imagine. An underground bath was discovered under the floor of a cellar a couple of decades ago, hiding a medieval story of Montpellier’s Jewish community.
