What to expect
You'll gather at Place Jean Jaurès before setting off into Montpellier's compact, car-free historic quarter. As you wander, the guide presents branching options: turn left to hear tales of a particular neighbourhood, or right to explore another corner. Every 10–15 minutes, the group collectively decides where to go next and which story gets told. The pacing is relaxed, allowing time to absorb both the streetscape and the guide's narratives. Expect a mix of verified history and local lore. There's no fixed endpoint; your choices determine the final route.
