Séte to Montpellier

[Member]

Our cruise ship will dock at Séte for 10 hrs. on May 19th. Séte seems to be a quiet port so two of us are thinking of going to Montpellier either by city bus or train for half-a-day tour there ourselves. I wonder how far are the bus/train stations away from the pier/city center there? And how frequents are the bus/train schedules on Friday?

We are interested as well. We are there in April, but only for 6 hours. I know that Sete is a stopping off point for Carcassone. Would love to visit some of the vineyards in the Languedoc region.

You might find enough to see and do in Sete, especially for only 6 hours.

 

We spent a delightful day just watching the water joist competition.

 

During a month's visit in Meze nearby, we visited Sete, Montpellier and Carcassone.

thanks, we are there on a sunday (not sure how much to do/open on a Sunday) and we are docked from 7a.m. to 6p.m. --- I would go to Carcassone but we are going to Avignon the next day, medieval walled town of Lucca a few days after and some perched medieval villages in Provence/Marseille area (Les Baux, St. Paul de Vence, Eze) ---

 

Montpellier looks interesting, and I just read that Narbonne has an interesting Sunday covered market...

 

However, I could probably use the day of rest - using a few hours in Sete, have some fresh seafood and re-group for the next few days of intense touring.

 

Just all the surrounding options of Nimes, Montpellier etc. are calling to me!
