serge gabriel

We attended the Candlelight concert where the Aurore Quartet performed Coldplay's music in the medical school's amphitheater. We had a wonderful time. The musicians had extraordinary mastery of their instruments. The atmosphere, with the candlelight, was truly magical. A truly unforgettable experience!

LUDOVIC TOLSY

A unique and incredible experience. This was our second time there, and we had a truly timeless experience. We'll definitely do it again.
We're just waiting to see the lineup, and especially to see if they'll be doing a Candlelight Dinner featuring Myazaki and Studio Ghibli film music ???? …

Luis Fernando Perez

William VIII decreed in 1180 that anyone, regardless of their religion or origins, had the right to teach medicine in Montpellier. The faculty was established at the end of the 13th century and is considered the oldest medical school in the Western world still operating.

A must-see! Self-guided tour, but you'll greatly benefit from booking a guided tour with the Montpellier tourist office (online or at their offices on Place de la Comédie). A 2-hour 15-minute tour, with access to the Council and Acts rooms, …

Enzo p.g

It's a beautiful building attached to the cathedral; I'm not sure if it's part of it now or was in the past, but visiting it feels like an extension of the cathedral itself. Its entrance is dominated by two sculptures representing François …

Mariejo Poivey

We bought two tickets for the Candlelight tribute to Johnny Hallyday at the amphitheater of the medical school in Montpellier without knowing exactly what to expect, but we absolutely don't regret our choice because it was magnificent: the …

Norkys Bucan

It needs better care; a little love and attention wouldn't hurt. The building itself is interesting, and they're remodeling the inside, but outside I found trash right on the facade where tourists want to take photos, as you can see in the …

Geneviève Guay

We appreciated the building and facilities. However, the tour dragged on a bit too long. The guide could have delivered the information more quickly and selected the most relevant details to maintain our interest, which we unfortunately …

Syssou 34

A simply unforgettable evening! The Candlelight ambiance was magical and created a sublime setting, but it was above all the string quartet that was absolutely remarkable. Their virtuosity and passion gave chills, with arrangements that …

Julie Husson

A magical moment in an intimate, candlelit atmosphere. A wonderful connection with the musicians who radiated fantastic energy. A magnificent discovery of Queen's music through the sounds of violins and cello. An enchanting interlude!

Erwan

The Faculty of Medicine of Montpellier, founded in 1220, is the oldest university in the world in terms of medicine in the legal and conceptual sense of the term "university" as defined from the 13th century in Europe.

Claude Allouche

Magnificent Faculty of Medicine, the oldest in the world, on an exceptional site, including a cathedral dating from 1200; we were not able to enter the cathedral, but the site is very beautiful and full of history

Gaëlle Guitard

A magical evening by candlelight. Since we couldn't see Coldplay in Lyon, we enjoyed this classic version of their hits. The four musicians are excellent. Special mention to the cellist for her wonderful energy.

Fabienne Roucher

A wonderful musical evening with the perfectly extraordinary Aurores string quartet. A venue and a quartet that thrilled me to the sublime music of Coldplay VS Imagine Dragons. To be repeated without hesitation.

Magali xxx

A magical evening, a venue perfectly in tune with the music. A quartet connected to the audience. We were transported by the music to another place, the flickering glow of the (LED) candles adding to the magic.

Sabine Louna

A moment suspended outside of time! An exceptional quartet who illuminated the stage, not only with candlelight, but above all with their talent. I highly recommend it; you'll want to hear it again and again.

Gladys Houwen

Must visit if you are interested in history. This oldest faculty of medicine in the world has trained doctors that treated the French kings and famous people. How incredible to be able to see these in detail!

Moi Même

A visit is definitely worthwhile, but be careful not to disturb the students ?? You learn a lot in this building, which is full of history. It's a shame there was no one available to answer my questions. …

Laurence Colonna-Cesari

A superb concert by the Paname Candlelight ensemble, Coldplay versus Imagine Dragons. In the legendary, ancient amphitheater of the Montpellier Faculty of Medicine, it was magical and magnificent ???? …

severine burgarella

I came to see the candlelight show, a tribute to Aznavour performed by the Aurores Quartet, and the venue was very well suited to this style of performance. I came twice and loved it each time.

Alexandre Doutre

A truly wonderful moment in the amphitheater of the Faculty of Medicine. Hearing and seeing the Aurores Quartet so close up, in that atmosphere, was a real treat. The audience was captivated.

EM L

An unusual concert in the medical school's amphitheater.
Very friendly musicians who interacted with the audience.
Vivaldi's Four Seasons, modernized by these four young virtuosos!

A nice historic place created in 1220, the oldest university in the world related to medicine.
A beautiful building with views from the back of the university overlooking the …

Lou Guérin

Magnificent faculty!
It was with great emotion that I visited the oldest medical faculty in the world still in operation, as a doctoral student. It has been beautifully restored.

benoit TISSIERE

A high-quality musical performance in a magical setting with a cozy atmosphere; it's a shame the hall wasn't air-conditioned on such a sweltering day. An experience to recommend.

catherine mouton

The magnificent amphitheater at the medical school, bathed in candlelight, beautifully enhanced the music of the quartet and Queen. A fantastic evening, I highly recommend it.

Celine Chenuaud

Magnificent

Fabien Fontana

I went to see a violin concert by candlelight in the medical school amphitheater; it's a truly magnificent and well-maintained setting, a truly exceptional place.

Hong Van Le

If the University can charge students at the France-Vietnam Hospital the same price that the France-Vietnam Hospital charges its patients, that would be humane ??

Muriel PRUNIER

Second Candlelight concert by the Aurore Quartet ? fantastic! After the Valentine's Day love songs, a superb tribute to Charles Aznavour. We'll be back! …
