Arc de Triomphe de Montpellier

Porte du Peyrou (Arc de Triomphe de Montpellier) is an iconic landmark built near the end of the 17th century, a gigantic archway that you can go under or enter. The arch was built to celebrate the glory of the French monarchy of the 1600s, in particular the Sun King Louis XIV, but today it stands in a vast public park. Going inside, you can climb a staircase to visit a rooftop terrace that offers stunning views of the entire city.

The Arc is also the entrance to the Peyrou Royal Palace, with easy access to many nearby historic structures and sites to see. It's located in the heart of the Montpellier city centre.
