Montpellier

We got up a bit earlier today to get a local train to Montpellier as it only took 20 minutes and was going to be much easier than driving in.

After arriving we stopped for a coffee in the Place de la Comédie then started the walking tour recommend by the Michelin guide we were using.  We visited the Hotel Particuliers including the museum of Montpellier.  Next we continued the tour to get to the Musée Fabre where we saw lots of art including an excellent temporary exhibition on the golden age of Naples.

We followed this with lunch where we had Raclette with possibly more Reblochon than Tony ever wants to see again.

Following lunch we returned to the Musée Fabre to see the permanent collections then continued the tour, seeing the Cathedral St Pierre and the Medical Faculty (which was sadly closed).  After that we visited the aqueduct and Place Royale du Peyru and then we walked over to the East of the city cente to see Antigone, a modern development of a former army site.

We got a tram back to the rail station and got back to Vergeze around 8.45pm.
