The one nicknamed "the prodigy" ticks (almost) all the boxes: top-notch attractiveness (18/20), a solid educational offer with six major schools, a myriad of universities and research centers, and above all, a quality of life that makes you want to settle down for a long time.

80,000 students in the Écusson
Montpellier in a few numbers, let's not forget that it has 80,000 students, which is nearly one in five residents, and a vibe that is both relaxed and stimulating. You study in a postcard-like setting, almost with your feet in the water; it’s (almost) the perfect city! It may be second in the ranking, but it is definitely first in the hearts of many.
