E08: Montpellier

Montpellier.  A port city in Southern France.  We briefly stopped in Montpellier to change trains to Marseille.  Montpellier had been one of the stops on our itinerary, but got the axe as we started trimming down. 

Well, we did not have much time to explore the city.  My throat was really dry after the train ride from Carcassonne, so I needed to grab a drink.  We spotted a McDonalds across the street from the train station.  As we learned, McDonalds in France == Free Wiki Wi-fi.  This is the only time I’ve brought just a drink from McDonalds.

Montpellier has some cool looking light rail.  I was trying to see if it’s a Bombardier, just so I can say, “That’s my train”. lol.  This particular flowery pattern on the train made me think of it as a giant caterpillar for some reason.

Montpellier Transport

Here’s a picture the train station Gare De Montpellier Saint-Roch.  Nothing very fancy, but it is a major hub in the area.

It’s a pity we did not have time to explore Montpellier.  I’ll have to return on a future trip.

    Wow, a whole post just for Montpellier. At this rate, I believe Narbonne deserves its own post too since more time was spent there than at Montpellier.
    Just kidding with ya. XD

    And I think you meant "free wifi" there, not "free wiki". ;)
