Reconnect with nature amongst the vineyards, heaths, salt marshes, seasides and great outdoors.
Fancy a breath of sea air? The coast is only a dozen kilometres away with a seaside worthy of the best French resorts.
The Or, Méjean and Arnel lagoons are home to an incredible array of flora and fauna that you can spot on the footpaths at the Nature House in Lattes. The protected Villeneuve-les-Maguelone saltworks are both a historical and natural landmark where birds come to breed and feed. Look out for sterns, seagulls, wading birds and flamingos.
And in the city, nature is everywhere! With over 150 parks, the river Lez running through the city, a botanical garden, a zooand the Lunaret nature reserve, Montpellier is a green city in its own right. And let’s not forget the jewels in the town’s crown!
These sites are vulnerable!
