The Euro-Greek-France cultural association was founded in Montpellier in 1990. It strives to promote Greek culture in all its forms: conferences, books, theatre, cinema, dances, language courses, and an animation within the Greek community. Dance courses take place at La Maison Pour Tous. Another of his actions, more informal and more discreet, concerns the meeting, reception and accompaniment of Greek students who come each year to pursue their studies in Montpellier, but also to their Greek compatriots passing through.

The aim of this association which was created in 1991 by Daniel Roche, a wine enthusiast, is to introduce its members, in the best conditions to nectar of various origins, to form their own taste and improve their knowledge about this drink. Tasting evenings are regularly organised. You can even come for the first time without joining the club. Its members regularly travel to France and abroad to discover other products such as chocolate, tea, beer, whisky, honey, olive oil... A newsletter, a program and a newspaper are available on the website.

Whether you are young or retired, alone, with family or friends, the Maisons pour tous are places where people can come together, share and enjoy themselves, where culture and entertainment are within everyone's reach. Places of discovery, expression, learning, sports and entertainment, the Maisons pour tous offer more than 500 different activities. And Montpellier has 24 of them, spread out in the different districts of the city and each one offering a very wide program all year round. Whatever the activity you are interested in - dance, drawing, yoga, choir, theater, music... -you will surely find it in one of the Maison pour tous near you.

A young Franco-Spanish association, L'Hispanothèque aims to promote the Spanish language and culture in Montpellier. The aim of its "creators" is to create a center for documentary resources and events on the cultures associated with the country's four official languages: Castilian, Catalan, Basque and Galician. The Hispanothèque's program also includes language courses, lecture and film series, events such as the Three Wise Men's costume parade on January 8, and a welcome for new arrivals. The association is open to all lovers of Spain.

Montpellier-a.v.f.-accueil is an association. It offers a welcome and activities for newcomers to the city. The AVF Montpellier also organizes events in local neighborhoods to help newcomers forge social links and discover local life. The association is made up of dedicated volunteers who give their time and talents to help new arrivals. The association's president hopes to continue promoting the spirit of welcome and mutual aid that characterizes the AVF Montpellier.
