Within the emblem that constitutes the heart of the city of Montpellier, the prefecture of Hérault has a strong place and identity in the city.

It is quite natural that the first Imperial Prefect, Pierre Joseph de Nogaret, elected residence there in 1800, thus retaining to the building the vocation which was his before the Revolution.
