Click here or image for larger version Montpellier, city, capital of Hérault département and of the Languedoc-Roussillon région, southern France, located 7 miles (12 km) from the Mediterranean coast. An old university city, Montpellier is the chief administrative and commercial centre of the Languedoc-Roussillon region. Situated in a fertile plain, the city has grown up around its old quarters, contained within boulevards on the site of the former city walls. It is famed for the terraced 17th- and 18th-century Promenade du Peyrou, which offers views of the Mediterranean and of the city's elegant mansions. The Botanical Gardens, founded by Henry IV in 1593, are the oldest in France. The F.-X. Fabre Museum contains one of the richest French collections of paintings in existence. The 14th-century Gothic cathedral has been heavily restored. A trading station for spice imports in the 10th century, Montpellier acquired a charter in 1141. Its school of medicine became important during the 12th century and the faculty of medicine was founded in 1221. The city's school of law dates from 1160. The University of Montpellier itself was founded in 1220 and confirmed by a bull of Pope Nicholas IV in 1289. Louis XIV (ruled 1643-1715) made Montpellier the administrative capital of the Languedoc region, famous for its wines. The modern city is a tourist centre and the seat of the International Vine and Wine Fair. Its industries include food processing, metallurgy, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and textile weaving. Pop.
