• Antigone - The Antigone district, crafted by architect Ricardo Bofill, draws significant inspiration from ancient Greek architecture.

Bofill has integrated classical elements such as colonnades, porticoes, and pediments, reminiscent of the aesthetics of ancient temples. However, architecture is not the only aspect reflecting this influence.

The neighborhood’s layout is also adorned with monumental statues and grand fountains, enhancing the classical ambiance. Statues, often depicting heroic or mythological figures, are strategically placed throughout the landscape, adding a symbolic dimension, while fountains, with their water displays and sculptures, contribute to the elegance and tranquility of the area.

The Antigone district features several notable attractions, including the Olympic swimming pool, the Media Library, and the Hôtel de Région.

• Montpellier - The journey will then follow the river Lez to reach the architectural marvel known as the White Tree.
• Montpellier Town Hall - Crossing over the Lez offers a distant view of the Montpellier Town Hall, before returning to the starting point along the river Lez, where one can enjoy the local wildlife, such as egrets, ducks, and cormorants.
