Day 1: Went by train from Toulouse to Montpellier and it was seamless 🙂 Got to Carnon beach via the T3 tram line and the navette (free shuttle) - Very easy and good connections. It is set up very similarly to Toulouse so that made it simple to understand. Cheap pricing too: 1,60€ each way. … Continue reading Moseying over to Montpellier

Leaving Lyon – Day 5 of 5
Packed up early at 6:30am and then walked off to the Parc de Tete d’Or. Gorgeous, massive park super close to the city. You really do feel like you’re away from the city with lots of greenery around you and there’s a zoo too!  It reminded me of Stanley park 🙂 After that, I walked home … Continue reading Leaving Lyon – Day 5 of 5
