Images of Montpellier
We did a walking tour of Montpellier last saturday. Here are some pictures
Place de la comedie
The small but elegant Arc de Triomf
A bollard!
Not sure what this is, but it looks good
Edited later : it turns out this is a water tower. Water from the aqueduct was stored in a holding tank - this was the main Montpellier water source until recent expansion required more water. Thanks for this, Peter.
The aqueduct

The Mikve dates back to the 13th century
This shell-shape at the base of this building is supposed to supply extra support to the floors above. Not sure if I am convinced ..

Hi
the funny thing is a rather smart water tower.
The water came through the aqueduct, and into a big holding tank inside the strange structure.
It was the main Montpellier water source until recent expansion required more water.
