The Amphithéâtre d'O is an open-air concert venue in Montpellier, in the Occitania region of southern France. It sits inside the Domaine d'O, a scenic park on the edge of the city, at Avenue Ernest Hemingway, 34087 Montpellier.
What to expect
The venue is best known as a setting for live music. Because it is open to the air, a performance here feels different from one indoors: the stage is framed by greenery, and the evening unfolds under the sky. It is a place to go for a concert rather than for a quiet look around.
Throughout the year the amphitheatre hosts a range of live performances, festivals and cultural events, so the programme changes with the season. Check what is scheduled before you plan your trip, as the venue is used for specific events rather than as a daytime attraction.
Around the venue
The Domaine d'O is a park, which makes it a pleasant place to arrive early or to linger afterwards. A visit can be combined with time in Montpellier itself, a lively university city with a long history and a mild climate that suits outdoor evenings.
Plan your visit
- Look up the current programme before you travel, since events determine whether the venue is open to visitors.
- Allow time to reach the park, which lies on the edge of the city.
- Dress for an evening outdoors, and bring something warm if the night turns cool.
