Court of Justice



This is the Palais de Justice in Montpellier. It was built around 1850. It is a very beautiful building, which is located on the avenue Foch, close to the Arc de Triomphe and to the Esplanade du Peyrou.

  4. J'aime les colonnes corinthiennes et l'entablature Palladian de ce vieux bâtiment fin. Quoiqu'il ne soit pas très vieux, par des normes d'European, il est très classique, et beau.

  7. My first flat as a student when I was 19 was located just behind this building, next to the Place de la Canourgue. At the time it was not so trendy as now, the neighbourhood really got uplifted in the last 10 years. I miss those blue skies you hava in Montpellier. I wish I could the light up here!

  11. Bon choix de lumière qui met en évidence uniquement le batiment.
