Église Saint-Roch is a Roman Catholic church in the centre of Montpellier, in the Occitania region of southern France. It stands on the Place Saint-Roch, and its name honours Saint Roch, the patron saint of the city.
What to expect
This is a working parish church as well as a historic religious site, so it is best approached as a place of worship. Visitors are welcome to step inside, to look at the building and to take a quiet moment, while respecting the services and the people praying there.
The church is closely tied to the identity of Montpellier. Saint Roch is remembered locally, and the church gives a sense of how deeply that devotion runs in the life of the city.
