Montpellier-Méditerranée Airport: where to stay, areas and…

Montpellier-Méditerranée airport has no accommodation of its own: shuttle 120 (about 15 minutes) reaches Place de l'Europe, from where tram 1 reaches Gare Saint-Roch and the centre in a few minutes. For a dawn flight or a late-night arrival it's therefore worth sleeping near the station, with the tram ready early in the morning. Those with more time prefer the historic centre, within walking distance of Place de la Comédie, with more choice for dinner and evening strolls. Those travelling with a rental car can also treat themselves to a night out of town, in the countryside.

Gare Saint-Roch

Near the airport link · Airport shuttle line 120 to Place de l'Europe (about 15 minutes), then tram 1 to Gare Saint-Roch with the same intermodal ticket.

Best for: those leaving at dawn or arriving late at night who want the tram ready right outside.

Pros

A stone's throw from trains to the rest of France, useful if combining flight and TGV
A lively area even late in the evening, with bars and restaurants around the station

Cons

Busier and noisier at night than the rest of the centre
During trade fairs at the Comédie, rooms get booked well in advance
