Best Hotels Near Montpellier Old Town Ecusson

The Ecusson — the shield-shaped historic heart of Montpellier — is a dense medieval quarter of narrow streets, aristocratic mansions, private courtyards, and hidden gardens that contrast with the city's modern tramway and student energy outside. The Place de la Canourgue is Montpellier's most aristocratic square, lined with 17th and 18th-century townhouses, while the covered market in the Halle Castellane is one of the best in southern France. Hotels in the Ecusson provide the most atmospheric base for exploring a city that is at once deeply historical and one of the most dynamic in France.
