I’ve lived in Montpellier for 8 years
I speak English, French, Spanish
I am a researcher/writer
I’m Mateo, a local host in Montpellier, and what I love most about this city is how alive it feels – you can meet people from all over the world, enjoy its vibrant cultural life, and still step into nature or a charming small town just minutes away. For me, Montpellier is a place where past and present flow together effortlessly; I often grab a book and spend hours in its plazas, parks, or sunny terraces, just soaking it all in. I know neighborhoods like L'Écusson, St. Roch, Antigone, Beaux Arts, and more inside out, and I enjoy sharing both their stories and hidden gems. Whether it’s exploring history, diving into the city’s lively music and festival scene, discovering unique art galleries, or tasting your way through its best food spots, I’ll make sure your time here feels like experiencing Montpellier through the eyes of a friend.
