Montpellier, well situated in central Southern France, boasts a warm Mediterranean climate and a lively university vibe. In May/June of 2015 I spent 8 weeks here studying for the DALF, a French proficiency exam. While not the most fun 8 weeks I’ve ever had in France it was a tough but rewarding experience. Posts talk about studying for and taking the exam.
