Residents of Hérault, fear not: we haven’t misspelled the name of your county seat! Today, it is indeed Montpelier—not Montpellier, with two L’s—that our organization has chosen to talk to you about, on the occasion of… your teen language immersion program in the U.S.. Profile.
In which state is the city of Montpellier located?
The American city of Montpelier is located in Vermont, one of the many states you may have the privilege of exploring during an upcoming teen language study trip to the USA with LEC. Vermont is located in the northeastern part of the United States, right next to New Hampshire, Massachusetts, andNew York State, as well as Quebec.
Montpelier, the capital of Vermont
While Montpelier is much less populous than other cities in Vermont—starting with Burlington—it has one major advantage over them: it is, quite simply, the state capital. It is its central location that earned it this title; indeed, Montpelier was built at the confluence of two rivers. As for its lush vegetation, the city owes it to the fact that it was built within the Green Mountains, a range that is part of the Appalachian Mountains.
What to see in Montpelier during a teen language study program in the U.S.?
