Medieval Jewish ritual pool in Montpellier, a vestige of Hebrew culture, a unique heritage in Europe.
The Jewish community of Montpellier was particularly important in the 13th century. Some vestiges remain from this period, the most astonishing of which is the Mikveh. This Jewish ritual bath allowing ablutions of purification, in particular before the Jewish Easter, is fed naturally by an underground water table. It consists of a twin bay with columns, with capitals with vegetal decoration, which connects the bath and the undressing area. The synagogue and the adjoining rooms, from the same period, make this ensemble a unique heritage in Europe.

un lieu très intéressant à visiter et riche en découvertes pour qui n'est pas très calé dans la religion juive. on découvre des lieux "inconnus" grâce aux journées du patrimoine et c'est vraiment très bien que l'on puisse les visiter dans ces moments-là. l'endroit est bien conservé et la visite commentée riche d'enseignements.
the visit of mikvé is really very interesting. But beware, it is currently closed. Only ways to visit it: to be written on guided tours of the Tourist Office, or to wait Heritage Days. that is worth it, mikvé is very impressive.
