Montpellier is the most populous cities in France, and home to Montpellier TGV Train station. Originally, Montpellier TGV Train station was known as Gare De Montpellier but recently it was changed to Saint-Roch and is located right in the centre of the town. This train station offers high speed, night, regional and intercity train services. Because of its position in the South of France, most of the international trains stop in Montpellier TGV Train station. There are so many facilities for you here ranging from an information desk to make any enquiries, free wireless internet to browse as you wait for departure, phone cabins as well as a place for luggage storage. Buses, motorbikes and taxis aid in transporting people in and out of Montpellier TGV Train station. However, if you are here for a relatively longer time, I recommend that you hire a car to help you visit the area and get the most out of the place.

Things to See and Do

Taking a stroll in the old town and shopping in Montpellier is an exciting activity. Go through the alleys that harbor boutiques, restaurants and shops that have quite an edge in the quality they offer. You can as well check around in the comfort of your rented car as you drive along the streets.

While in the town centre, get to visit Gallery de l'Ancien Courrier to experience the art of contemporary painters that have a heart for mixing colors and the light of southern France. The entry is free, and that means you get to enjoy the art on display as well as asking any questions to learn more about this place.

Have a taste of all the big events that take place in Place de la Comédie that is an old part of the city of Montpellier. More so, when it is during the summer period, you will not fail to see people seated on the ground eating ice cream while basking in the sun.

Montpellier Parc Zoologique is a good place to visit especially if you love nature and wildlife. This zoo is the second largest in France and is the habitat for most wild animals. For instance, there are the white rhinoceros, and the three young leopard brothers called Tao, Tango and Twist. You will also not fail to set your eyes on the Atlas Lions. The entry is free, and the animals are in an open but secured enclosure where you get to see every one of them. To get the most out of this cultured city of France you need to rent a car for easy access to various sites.
