Steemian's interview by @siavach & @elmetro #2 : Montpelier
Hi guyz
We leaved you in our last post with the plan to visit the south of France for interviewing Steemians (and dancing a little bit).
With a little bit of impatience, the time goes by and here we are. Be prepared Montpellier because @siavach and @elmetro are in the place...
Montpellier
After 10 hours by car from Luxembourg with a stop at Strasbourg to pick up @siavach we came to our first destination: Montpellier.
First of all we are in vacation, we need to rest a little bit, so the first couple days are just a little bit of playa, a little bit of salsa and a little bit of naps.
It is already our last day at Montpellier, it is the moment to go visiting the city and we hope to find our first Steemian. You will understand that it will be a long journey with a full agenda.
9am: waking up, we put all our photo and video equipments in our bag, and go to the adventure of this city.
It is starting well, because we are already lost.
As @siavach doesn't know his left hand from his right hand, it is to @elmetro to find the breakfast
During that time, @siavach keep the smile even if he is hungry
10am: breakfast, in one of the plentiful bar on the Place de la Comédie, the nerve center of the city. We admire the beautiful facades and the ballet of the trams before going up to the side from the esplanade. If we would be art fans we could visit the Fabre Museum, and if would be lazy we could take a nap on the lawns of the gardens. But we are not!
Finally we found our target ;-)
The famous fountain of The Three Graces. The girls of the greek god, Zeus
The Opera Comedy
The Comedy place
11am: going on, one of the most mythical places in Montpellier: Le Peyrou. This square is located on the heights of the city center and offers us a breathtaking view of the region. Then we leave the park and pass under the Arc de Triomphe, in smaller the same than the one in Paris.
@elmetro show the way to @siavach
Arch of Triumph, the same than in Paris (that is what local people say)
Louis XIV in the sunny sky of Montpellier
We find the Iron Throne
GOT spoiler. At least, it is @siavach who win and own the Iron Throne
The Saint-Clément aqueduct (more commonly known as the Arceaux aqueduct)
12 am: Losing ourself, in the Crest and its pedestrian streets. Small boutiques full of charm, mini-cafés, small staircases and shaded square, rhythm our walk.
They are not Steemianes
Rocco and his mother
The tree never heared about SteemIt
Neither this balcony
1pm: lunch time, we chose a Lebanese restaurant between all kinds of and for alle tastes restaurant.
3pm: let's go, direction the contemporary Montpellier by crossing the district Antigone.
Even @siavach can't be lost here. Go ahead
Does anyone knows her? I can not recognize these chest
Sorry guyz, private joke
It is a student area, as it is the summer vacation, it is very quiet
5pm: Lazing, along of the riviera Le Lez.
While @elmetro is practicing his yoga
Others are hard working
Finally we didn't met our Steemian but now we know that Montpellier is this kind of city which is speaking to your soul when you are walking in her veins.
We always heard that Montpellier is a student city with more that 25% of the population who is a student. But as it was the summer vacation we don’t see them. That’s why we definitely must come back in this city during the winter.
Agenda
- Montpelier from the 22th to 25th of July
- Toulouse from the 25th to the 27th of July
- Vic-Fezensac from the 27th to the 30th of July
