Languedoc-Roussillon Travel Forum

I am thinking of traveling from Barcelona, Spain, to this small town in southern France (not far from Montpelier). The options are:
(1) Renting a car (my information says it's a 3.5 hour drive)
(2) Public transport
I actually prefer public transport. However, I have my doubts as to the practicality of it. Is there some sort of regular and reliable public transport which doesn't eat up too much time? If yes, how long does the trip take?

Although the cost of each of the options (car or public transport) isn't that important, I would appreciate it if someone could post this information.

Merci beaucoup.

My girlfriend and I have acquired a gite for 5 days in Uzes. Anyone have suggestions on where to eat, where to go. I have been in Languedoc about 5 years ago, but I know there is so much I missed. Any must see or must do would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Dub

Hello,
On holidays next week, wondering where we can watch this match live.
Perpignan or any close location. Heard of O'Shannons not sure if they have the match live.

We are stopping in Carcassonne for four nights before travelling to our gite near Quillan. I have never been to Carcassonne but staying within the city walls seems the thing to do.

Has anyone stayed at the The Logis des Remparts? I can only find sites in French (or awkward English!) and am having trouble booking.

Is this the shop in Aigues Mortes that has the delicious shortbread cookies - cinnamon, almond, lemon, etc? We have never forgotten the treats.

A few years ago I purchased some very nice table linens and neck ties in a shop in Aigues Mortes that was right near the main square. I wondered if there was an address or web-site? Thanks. marywebbie@yahoo.com

Hi,

I'm going to Sete (Hotel le national) soon with my girlfriend but neither of us drive...

also we're on a fairly tight budget!

what is the best way of getting there from beziers airport? how much would a taxi cost approximately? I've read that there's a shuttle from the airport to beziers bus station but that it's a way from the train station.

It seems like a good place to go in terms of public transport, easy access to other towns, beaches etc...

sorry for all the questions, just want to make everything perfect!

Hi. My wife and I and our two children are flying to Carcassonne in August and need to go to Montpellier. What is the easiest way to do this? We don't want to hire a car. Is it necessary to pre-book the train?
Thanks.

In september we are travelling on Canal du Midi from Castelnaudry to Carcassonne & return, we are looking for a web-site of Municipal swimming Pools or swim friendly Lakes between the 2 towns mentioned above,we will have bicycles so can travel a few kilometres either side of the Canal.Thanks.

We need to get from Carcassone to Tossa de Mar in mid August (on a Saturday)and would like to know if this is possible by train (preferable) or bus.

So far it looks as though one might need to get a train from Narbonne to Girona and a bus from there but the information I have found is unclear.

If anyone can tell us what options are available and the travel time/costs involved, we would be most grateful.

Thanks for your assistance and happy travelling.

Can anyone please tell me how July is looking for Mosquitoes in the area? Are the Mosquito numbers up or down for this time of year? Do they bite even in the daytime? Would you advise the use of Mosquito nets if staying in a Campsite chalet? Please excuse if this all sounds paranoid - it's just have read of some bad experiences on travel blogs and wonder if it all depends on the weather/season?

Thanks in advance for any help?

Please advice what's the best way to obtain a mobile phone in Montpellier? Will be staying there for a month. I don't need an expensive phone. A basic one should be fine to communicate between France, Italy and United States. If I buy a phone, about how much will it cost? Is there such thing as "no contract" with a service provider? Will phone card work with a mobile phone. Thanks!
