The Writer's Place

The Writer's Place: Occitanie

Looking for a central spot from which to explore Montpellier? We’ve found just the thing. This stylish and modern apartment has bags of French style, with stunning wooden parquet flooring, opulent furniture and eye-catching artwork in abundance. It’s located a stone’s throw from Montpellier Saint-Roch station – ideal if you’re arriving via public transport, or want to travel beyond Montpellier after your stay. It’s also close to a lot of historical hot spots and cultural landmarks, such as La Tour de la Babote and Place de la Comédie, where you can soak up some history.

We recommend you start your day by throwing open the doors to your Juliet balcony and letting the gorgeous light shine into your beautiful lounge area. Enjoy a glass of freshly squeezed OJ while you recline on the sofa, and discuss your daily itinerary. Cook up a delicious French breakfast of crepes and coffee and tuck in all together around your smart breakfast bar, and head out for a busy day of exploring and adventuring, with plenty to see on your doorstep. When you return, have a soak in your lush bathtub, or write up some postcards to send home on your quaint desk, complete with a vintage typewriter. Then fall into your big comfy double bed, ready to do it all again the next day.
