TIME FOR A WEEKEND IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Montpellier may be a city but that doesn’t mean nature lovers won’t find something to love here, with its gardens, rounds of golf and protected nature sites just a stone’s throw from the centre.

“Vert” means “green” and “green” means “golf course”!

SOAK UP NATURE IN THE CITY

Why not soak up nature in the city?

Montpellier Méditerranée is home to countless parks and gardens, striking the perfect balance to provide quality of life in the city.

Montpellier alone has over 1000 ha of public green spaces including 12 parks approved as “eco-gardens”. explore by bike or on foot: all the green spaces are easy to reach by tram!

Take your pick from the iconic Jardin des Plantes, the romantic Parc Méric and many more.

Everything you need to have a nap in the shade, enjoy a good book or just go on an invigorating stroll!

Are you more of a sporty type? The greenway runs through Montpellier straight to the coast via the Nature House in Lattes.

A LITTLE JAUNT TO THE GOLF COURSE?

When you say green, you say golf!

Lovers of this calm and soothing sport, you will not be disappointed!

The Montpellier Metropolis has several establishments where you can combine quality accommodation and golf.

These include the Golf de Fontcaude in Juvignac, the Golf de Massane in Baillargues and a little further afield the Golf du Pic Saint-Loup in Saint-Gély-du-Fesc.

GO GREEN IN THE HINTERLAND

Do you want to soak up the peace and quiet in the hinterland?

How about staying somewhere quirky at the Cabanes de l’Arbousier in Castries outside Montpellier?

It’s the perfect base for your first outing around Montpellier along the aqueduct.

It’s a leisurely route whether you’re walking or cycling so it’s ideal for a good airing.

Too easy for you? How do you fancy trekking up Pic Saint Loup instead? It’s a favourite among the French!

The views of the hinterland from the top are awesome!

If you’re looking for a turnkey route to uncover hidden gems in Montpellier and Hérault then book yourself on an excursion.
