The Montpellier Bar Association's annual opening convention, known locally as the Rentrée du Barreau de Montpellier, is a professional gathering held each year at the start of the legal season. The 2026 edition takes place at Le Corum, the convention and concert centre in Montpellier, on 4 December, with the programme beginning at 9:00 AM.
What to expect
This is an event for the legal profession and those who work alongside it, rather than a general sightseeing outing. It is a conference-style convention, so visitors should expect a structured programme in a formal venue rather than an open or informal visit. Details of the sessions are published on the venue's event listing, which is the best place to check the schedule before you go.
Visiting Le Corum
Le Corum is a large, modern venue in the centre of Montpellier, the regional capital of Occitania in southern France. Its size and location make it easy to combine the convention with time in the city. Montpellier is known for its historic old town, its lively squares and its Mediterranean setting, so a morning or evening spent walking around the centre can complement a day of meetings.
