About
Polygone has stood at the heart of Montpellier for more than fifty years, and it remains the largest shopping centre in the city centre — three levels, around a hundred boutiques and a dozen places to eat, laid out between the Antigone quarter and the place de la Comédie. Its position is half the point: four tram lines serve Comédie and Antigone, so the centre sits directly on the axis most of the city travels every day, with a 2,000-space underground car park for those who arrive by road. The doors open at ten and close at eight, Monday to Saturday, at 1 rue des Pertuisanes.
The retail offer is broad without being interchangeable. Galeries Lafayette and Monoprix anchor it, joined by Fnac for books, music and tech, Decathlon and Courir for sport, and Micromania and iServices for games and repairs. Fashion runs from Zara, Mango, Bershka and Pull&Bear through Promod, Pimkie, Morgan, Caroll, Maison 123, BZB, Etam and Liu Jo to menswear at Celio, Jules, Devred 1902, Bonobo, Izac, Bexley and Father & Sons, with IKKS on both sides and Okaïdi-Obaïbi and Jacadi for children. Lingerie, accessories and jewellery fill out the rest — Undiz, Tezenis, Calzedonia, Bleu Cerise, Chabrand, Pandora, Lovisa, Histoire d'Or, Atelier.19, MOA, Louis Pion — alongside beauty and wellbeing at Sephora, Kiko Milano, Rituals, Yves Rocher, L'Occitane, Adopt', Aroma-Zone and BioTechUSA, and a whole floor's worth of hairdressers and barbers in Jean Louis David, Studio 19, The Barber Company and La Boutique du Coiffeur. For the home and the table there are Maisons du Monde, Poterie de la Madeleine, Alice Délice and Nature & Découvertes, and for gifts and gourmandise, Jeff de Bruges, Leonidas, Kusmi Tea, Nespresso, Aux Grands Vins de France and Lolly's Gourmandises Store. Practical needs are covered too — pharmacy, opticians at Optic 2000 and Grand Optical, Mister Minit and Montre Service, SFR, a bank point, a photo booth, dry cleaning at Sequoia Pressing, second-hand at Easy Cash and Passe la Seconde, and a welcome desk with the Poly'Kids space for shopping with children in tow.
Eating is woven through the levels rather than corralled into a food court. Paul and Starbucks handle the morning; Cofféa roasts for those who take their coffee seriously; La Table and Tomate cover the sit-down lunch, Mamatina brings Italian counter food, NaturElle does the fresh and the green, and Monoprix's own bowls serve the quick midday. For afterwards there's Waffle Factory, ice cream at Nel & Siw, and Le Repère Gourmand for anyone whose afternoon needs sweetening.
The centre also programmes its own seasons, most visibly Poly'Summer, a run of free activities across the summer months with two hours of parking offered on Saturdays to shoppers who've spent enough to earn it. Central, well connected, and comfortably the busiest crossroads of commerce in Montpellier, Polygone is where the city does its shopping — and has been for half a century.
