Objects appraised in Montpellier and sold in Paris

Selling a sculpture or painting at the Hôtel Drouot in Paris offers many advantages, even if you live in Montpellier or the surrounding communes. A leading university and cultural city, Montpellier boasts a medieval historic center, the Arc de Triomphe, Saint-Pierre Cathedral and Place de la Comédie, the lively heart of the city.

A city of learning and the arts, Montpellier is also renowned for its major cultural institutions, such as the Musée Fabre, home to one of France's most important painting collections. Situated at the crossroads between Provence, the Cévennes and the Mediterranean coast, Montpellier enjoys excellent accessibility thanks to its motorway and rail networks and its international airport, which makes it considerably easier to transport works of art to Paris.

Despite the geographical distance, collaboration with various transporters and our local teams guarantees reasonable sales costs. You benefit from Drouot's renown in showcasing your work and attracting collectors from all over the world, while minimizing logistical costs.

This prestigious platform for the exchange and circulation of the European art market offers incomparable visibility for your objects, opening the doors to new opportunities for your possessions, wherever you live.
