Montpellier - Promenade du Peyrou

In Montpellier, from the Place de la Comédie the visitor can take the Rue de la Loge (pedestrian area) and the Rue Foch, impressive with its splendid 19th C buildings, to reach the Promenade du Peyrou, an elevated park on two levels, dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, which offers a beautiful view as far as the Cévennes and the sea. At the intersection of the promenades stands an equestrian statue of Louis XIV, dating from 1828, while at the western end of the terraces is a water-tower.
