Montpelier

Our one-night stop here was interesting. We stayed in the nicest, cleanest hotel we'd seen in France so far, where the bathroom was in the closet!! (Not literally, but it was behind what looked like a closet door). Montpelier is a university city, full of students from all over, and extremely clean and tidy (it almost reminded me of Germany). It was a complete contrast to Marseille. That night we ate in an Italian restaurant, got drunk on the street and started talking to all the drug addicts who hung out in front of the opera house. I was blabbering away for awhile, until the realization hit me through my drunkenness that we were hanging out with a bunch of bums. We got the hell out of there and went back to our hotel room to sleep.

The opera house.

There was a carousel set up in the square where we hung out. It was off this square where our hotel room was, too.
