🎶 Into the Streets of Montpellier

Following the music into the Écusson, where outdoor bars, old architecture, drinks, conversation and several small street parties merge into one very Montpellier evening. At one point, my spouse reaches back through the crowd, grabs my hand and pulls me along.

This is what Fête de la Musique feels like from inside it. 🎶

☀️ Street Scene With Tramway Tracks, in Montpellier, France
📷 Michele Gandee

Tramway tracks run through the historic streets of Montpellier, France, leading toward a church framed by traditional Mediterranean architecture. Historic facades, wrought-iron balconies, overhead tram wires, street art, cafes, and passing pedestrians bring together several layers of everyday Montpellier street life in one view. The long-exposure movement of the pedestrians contrasts with the solid architecture and tram tracks, capturing the rhythm of a busy city street in the South of France.
