The capital of the Languedoc-Roussillon region in France is also the 8th largest city in the entire country. Montpellier has long since been a great place for people to relax next to the Mediterranean Sea and take in the fresh air. In the early Middle Ages, the area was a fairly large settlement. However, nearby areas were often destroyed by pirates and forced the settlements inward, thus establishing where Montpellier rests now

The fact that the city has such a long documented historical presence makes it a fascination place for those who love to enjoy uncovering secrets and learning about the cultures of our ancestors. Luckily, the area has a rather comfortable Mediterranean climate which makes it pleasant to visit year round. Although it can occasionally get very hot, the nights often cool down quite nicely. With a relatively small population of only 500,000, you can surely get close and intimate with the landscape and people to understand what the south of France is truly about.

Minivan rental fleet

Sicily by Car and other suppliers offer a good range of MPV’s and people carriers. The Mitsubishi outlander will provide seating for 7. Please take note that luggage is fairly restricted in this category of minivan. If all 7 passengers were to have their own luggage, you would have a storage problem.

A good selection of 9 seater minivans for hire are available at Montpellier Airport. As always even with the wider choice they will sell out so please book early.

Pyrenees

If you love mountains, you cannot miss a trip to the Pyrenees mountains that border Spain. The Pyrenees are only around a 4-hour drive away, but the road to the mountains is worth every minute. If you love great views, don’t forget to head to Pic Carlit. It is around 3,000 meters in height and doesn’t require climbing equipment. The view is well worth it though!

Toulouse 

Toulouse is only 242 km (150 mi) via the A61 and A9. Toulouse is not only famous for being the European aerospace industry but also having an abundance of history as it was the 5th century capital of the Visigoth Kingdom. It is well worth a day trip as well, as the drive is also quite stunning. The wooded mountains of Cevennes are quite a treat and a great drive from Montpellier, where one can also see the griffon vulture.

Marseille

Montpellier is located 170 km (106 mi) from Marseille, the city most famously known for being the second largest in France and also being known as the historical port of the French Empire. It is an easy day trip of around 2 hours via the A54.
