The Place de la Comédie (; ) is a square in Montpellier, Hérault in Southern France. It is at the southeast point of the city centre, at , where the fortifications of the city were formerly located.
History The Place became the focal point of the city when, in the mid-19th century the railway station Gare de Montpellier Saint-Roch was built some south of it. At that time, a smaller train going to the nearby beach at Palavas-les-Flots also had its point of origin on the Place.
Location At its northeastern corner, the square continues into the Esplanade de Charles de Gaulle, a small park connecting the Place to the Corum, a large concrete and granite complex built by Claude Vasconi. At its southeastern corner it is linked to the Lycée Joffre, formerly the Citadel of Montpellier.
