The Montpellier City Guides deal with the questions every visitor has: where to eat well at lunch when the old town kitchens follow strict hours, what to see in the Écusson for free, where the students drink after dark and which train takes you to Sète or Nîmes for the day. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or see and one useful tip per place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you have paid.

Three places from the guides
Restaurant du Petit Jardin
20 Rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Écusson
A restaurant with its own walled garden in the middle of the old town, where the set lunch runs to several courses with small extras before and after. In winter the candlelit stone dining room takes over. From the food guide.
Château d’eau du Peyrou
Promenade du Peyrou
An 18th-century water tower built like a small Greek temple, standing at the far end of the Peyrou terrace. Come at sunset for the view over the aqueduct and, when the air is clear, all the way to the sea. From the things to do guide.
Halles de Sète
Sète, a short walk from the station
The covered market that justifies the train ride: oysters, fish and cheese eaten standing at the counters with a glass of local white. Order a tielle, the octopus pie of Sète. From the day trips guide.
Finish the game, open the guide
World City Trail’s Montpellier scavenger hunt, outdoor escape game and audio tour lead you through the historic centre. The guides take over when the game is done: a long lunch in an old-town courtyard, sunset from the Peyrou, a glass of natural wine in the Écusson or a morning train to the oysters of Sète.
