Proche du coeur de Montpellier, des commerces à proximité, à deux pas les champs de vigne et la campagne rayonnante du mois d'avril. Nous avons arpenté les rues de Montpellier, visité Sète, le Grande Motte, Uzès, les Gorges du gardon..Nous en avons gardé sous le pied pour une prochaine fois car la région nous enchante chaque fois un peu plus. Nous avons aussi apprécié la gastronomie locale, les spécialités de Sète, le fromage, le bon vin..grâce aux conseils de nos hôtes Annick et Christian, charmants et attentionnés, et que nous avons eu la chance de rencontrer au début de notre séjour. Merci à vous deux pour cet échange, qui enrichit notre expérience et imprime en nous de très belles images.

Read More...Annick and Christian's lovely house in Montpelier was excellent for an exchange. We enjoyed the chance to visit Montpelier and all the surrounding towns - Arles, Nimes, Avignon. They made us feel very welcome in their house and Lolita (their very friendly cat) was lovely. They also looked after our apartment in London very well. We liked the neighbourhood and found the park and ride for the tram easy and useful. We would recommend Annick and Christian as exchange partners and Languedoc - Roussillon as a wonderful part of France to visit David & Angela
