Montpellier

Montpellier's iconic central square, known locally as l'Œuf, with its Fountain of the Three Graces and a plane-tree-shaded esplanade perfect for a leashed stroll with your dog.

Montpellier's historic core: cobbled lanes, 17th-century townhouses, and lively café terraces where leashed dogs are welcome throughout the day.

A 17th-century royal garden with panoramic views over the Cévennes and the sea. The triumphal arch and water tower make a majestic backdrop for a dog walk.

Montpellier's largest off-leash dog park: 6,000 m² fully fenced and dedicated to unleashed dogs, with separate zones for small and large breeds. Open daily.

A green corridor along the Lez river linking the city centre to northern districts, offering kilometres of shaded walking for leashed dogs away from traffic.

The nearest dog-friendly beach to Montpellier (20 km), accessible at access 58–60. Dogs are permitted year-round, even off-leash in designated areas. Note: Palavas-les-Flots and Carnon beaches ban dogs.
