Esplanade Charles-De-Gaulle

Esplanade Charles-De-Gaulle, Boulevard Sarrail, Montpellier, France

 

This wide promenade extends from the Place de la Comedie up to the rose-coloured Corum building. Trees and fountains welcome those seeking to escape the summer heat or bustle of the city centre. The far end of the esplanade looks out across the northern district of the city and the stairs leading up to the roof of the Corum offer an even wider panorama. On the west side of the esplanade is the Musee Fabre while to the east is the museum's pavillion and the Champ de Mars gardens - within this space are several contemporary statues (notably Baldini's Le Vent) as well as classical ones. The mini-train and horse-drawn carriages also use the esplanade as their point of departure for tours of the city.
