Montpellier is a city that loves contemporary architecture. Strolling through the city, you can admire many modern and original buildings. The Gare Saint-Roch is a fine example, with its luminous nave. Tramway lines 3 and 4 were designed by Christian Lacroix, adding a touch of creativity to the urban landscape. The Pierresvives multimedia library resembles a spaceship and the Antigone swimming pool a giant ocean liner. L'Arbre Blanc is an all-white building with suspended balconies, an architectural extravaganza by Fujimoto. The Hôtel de Ville is by Jean Nouvel, and the Nuage is a wellness center designed by Philippe Starck. The Lycée Professionnel Georges Frêche is the work of Massimiliano Fuksas. Montpellier is a true capital of architecture and design. To discover all these contemporary buildings, you can take a guided tour offered by the Tourist Office.
