Artisans and craftsMontpellier, an artistic and cultural city

Arts and Crafts

Shopping in Montpellier means wandering through the charming streets where you can go from a high-class shop to a young jewellery designer, before taking a break at one of the many café terraces.

Sculptors, ceramists, jewellers, ironmongers, stylists… Montpellier is home to numerous craftsmen and women in the Écusson and nearby suburbs, who continue a long tradition.

Along the esplanade, workshop-boutiques designed as artists’ residences allow you to discover the creations of professionals who are passionate about their art.

Workshops

A stroll through the Saint-Roch district will take you to meet the artisans.

In the neighbouring villages, there is the same richness: over 1500 artists and craftspeople are at work between the coast and the Cévennes region, dedicated to sometimes unsuspected crafts: feather workers, stained-glass artists, weavers, lamp specialists, fashion, etc.

Craftspeople

Here and there, all through the city, Montpellier hosts artists and craftspeople and gives them a chance to express themselves and introduce their work to the public, both in traditional sectors, such as
ceramics and instrument-making, or in the newer domains that are now joining them.

Such a rich profusion has enabled the city to set up an arts and crafts trail at the heart of the Ecusson district.
