Occitanie regional capital in southern France — anchored by the University of Montpellier (one of the world's oldest, 1289) and the densest student population of any major French city (40,000+ students). The Écusson (the medieval old town) and the Antigone district (the 1980s Ricardo-Bofill-designed postmodernist quarter) are the walkable cores. France has no DNV; long séjour temporaire visiteur or Talent Passport. Schengen. The structural draws are Mediterranean climate (warmer than Paris year-round), deep student-town culture, and 10-minute-tram access to Mediterranean beaches.
