## Grooving to the Rhythm of Montpellier: Tuning into Radio Clapas
Montpellier, a vibrant city in the heart of the Occitanie region of Southern France, pulses with a unique energy. From its bustling squares to its historic architecture, there's a distinct cultural heartbeat that resonates through the city. And for over four decades, one radio station has amplified that beat, broadcasting a mix of community spirit and smooth jazz: Radio Clapas.
Broadcasting on 93.5 MHz and streaming online, Radio Clapas, meaning "heap of stones" in Occitan – a nod to Montpellier's nickname "Mont Pelé" – is more than just a radio station. It's a testament to the power of community radio, a platform for local voices, and a champion of jazz music. As one of the oldest non-commercial, associative radio stations still operating in France, it embodies a rich history and a dedication to its listeners.
