Résidence Les Consuls de la Mer - Madame Vacances

The fortified city of Carcassonne is just over an hour and a half away by car from Montpellier, and offers wonderful surroundings with medieval architecture and a castle which looks like it’s straight from a fairy tale.

The Aqueduct of Saint Clement is also nearby, and is a magnificent structure, which almost looks like a double bridge. The town of Saint Clement itself is worth exploring as well, providing pretty little streets and quaint, traditional houses.

Nice is a three hour drive away from the city, and offers guests a chance to rub shoulders with the rich and famous, explore the town and make the most of its golden beaches – ideal for a day out.

There is a fantastic range of things to see, do and experience on a holiday in Montpellier, with this historic town offering visitors plenty of opportunities to immerse themselves in the culture of the area. Wander through the old town and admire the stunning buildings, before ducking into shops, bars or restaurants, or simply enjoy the Mediterranean sun as you people-watch in a roadside café with a delicious French coffee.

The beaches are just a short drive away and provide the perfect opportunity to simply relax or take part in some water sports, while the fortified city of Carcassonne and the Aqueduct of Saint Clement are ideal for day trips away from the city.
