Every year in late June and early July, Montpellier hosts Montpellier Danse: two weeks of contemporary dance at the Agora (International City of Dance, 2 boulevard Louis Blanc), the Corum and other venues across the metro area, including outdoor performances.
The festival returns each summer around that time. Programme and tickets for the current edition: montpellierdanse.com.
Ten minutes by tram to the Agora
From the apartment, tram line 4 (direction B) stops first at the Corum, then at Louis Blanc – Agora de la Danse, in about ten minutes. The Agora entrance is 100 metres from the stop.
The address: La Perle des Aubes, 53 boulevard Charles Warnery, Les Aubes.
• A 3-bedroom flat for 6 guests, 2 bathrooms.
• Parking in the residence, with a badge — useful when the centre fills up in June and July.
• Tram line 4, Les Aubes stop, at the foot of the building, towards the Corum then the Agora.
How to get to the shows
By tram (the easiest option) — L4 from Les Aubes, direction B: Corum for the Opéra Berlioz, next stop Louis Blanc for the Agora. Other metro venues are a further tram or bus ride depending on the night.
On foot — allow about 15 minutes to the Corum, a little more to the Agora. At night the tram is more comfortable.
By car — do not plan to park around the Agora or the Corum during the festival. Use the residence car park, then line 4.
Book for June and July
Late June and early July sell out early: the festival, families, and travellers who want a few stops from the venues. The year’s programme is on montpellierdanse.com.
