Halle Tony Garnier
Builted between 1909 and 1914 as an outline for the larger city. Inaugurated for the 1914 Universal Exhibition as a project for an "industrial city". This days, it is used for concerts and exhibitions but not so long ago it was still Lyon's meat market. Also used temporarily as an arsenal during World War I. Tony Garnier was inspired by 19th century glass and steel architecture. Garnier was more of a theorist than an architect as his buildings included all the functions of a slaughterhouse.
Something funny about this place is that unknown even to many residents of Montpellier, the exterior of Saint Pierre Cathedral is marked by its twin towers rising above the surrounding buildings. The current entrance is by the unassuming doorway in Rue du Cardinal Cabrières. 
Le Jardin des Plantes was created in 1593. Today, it's a piece of haven from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding metropolis. It houses a vast variety of indigenous and exotic species, as well as trees that date back to when the garden was founded. The paths intertwine on different levels, and the garden contains several small follies, canals, grottoes and many busts of bearded botanists. The admission it's free.
Placed between the train station, the historic city centre and the Polygone shopping centre, this huge, pedestrianised square is the heart and soul of Montpellier. Deriving its name from the first theatre built in the 18th century on the site of what is now the Opera, this impressive square is the site of majestic open-air productions and street entertainment on a daily bases. At the centre of the square, beneath the beautiful facades of the surrounding 19th century buildings, is the fountain of the Three Graces. Guided tours are available for a reasonable price. 
This Protestant church is placed in the middle of the town on the famous La Canebière main road which leads to the Vieux-Port. On Saturdays, meetings are held at 8.30pm. On Sundays, the serviceS begin at 10am. On Tuesdays there is a prayer session from 6pm to 6.30pm. On Wednesdays there is a children's group at 2.30pm and a ligue du foyer(family association) meeting at 2.30pm on Fridays.
in 1908, Marseilles' town council launched a project for architects to design a monumental stairway outside the station, the contract being awarded to architects Serres and Arnal. The construction of the staircase which dominates the city with its 104 steps was undertaken between 1925 and 1927, and the inauguration took place a year later in 1928. A nice place to take that tipical picture as a souvenir to bring back home.
