Montpellier
Montpellier is France’s fastest growing conurbation, and the largest town on a coastline with Greek, Roman, Iberian, Moorish, Phocéan and Phonecian history. It’s in the foothills of the Cévennes mountains with Languedoc to the South West and to the North East is the sandy Camargue Delta, famous for wild bulls and horses, and the production of salt and rice. I am a WSET level 3 wine professional and I will guide you on a unique walking apéritif tour of the main sights and hidden gems in this wonderful city near which I have lived on-and-off for 20 years.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
