Two-day city break to Montpellier by TGV from Lyon

Illustration of Montpellier

Railtour Suisse's two-day Montpellier break pairs a swift TGV journey from Lyon with freedom to explore a southern French city on the Mediterranean coast. You travel in TGV second class and stay one night in a three-star hotel. Montpellier sits eleven kilometres from the sea, offering both urban culture and beach access. The package emphasizes car-free tourism, inviting you to walk medieval streets, stand in the Place de la Comédie, tour the Fabre Museum, and admire the daring modern buildings at Port Marianne. Unguided days mean you shape your own pace, whether seeking sun and sand or wandering narrow old-town lanes. This suits couples and first-time rail travellers seeking a quick weekend escape without lengthy planning.
