Walking tour of medieval Montpellier
Start your visit with a walking tour of Montpellier’s charming medieval city center, home to one of the largest pedestrian areas in Europe. Stroll through the lively Place de la Comédie, admire the Opéra Comédie and the elegant Three Graces Fountain, then continue past the Tour de la Babotte, a remnant of the 12th-century fortifications. See the impressive Arc de Triomphe, the former main entrance to the old town, and finish at the monumental Saint-Pierre Cathedral, a striking Gothic landmark.
Free time for lunch
After your morning tour, enjoy free time for lunch (at own expense) and personal exploration. Take the opportunity to wander Montpellier’s narrow streets, browse local boutiques, or relax on a café terrace in one of the city’s picturesque squares.
Languedoc wine tasting at a historic estate
In the afternoon, leave the city behind and head to the countryside around Montpellier, where elegant wine estates were created between the 17th and 19th centuries. Visit a magnificent property featuring a Renaissance-style château, an 11th-century chapel, and landscaped gardens. Discover the vinification cellar and oak barrel room, then enjoy a guided tasting of a selection of white, red, and rosé Languedoc wines. After your wine tasting session, relax on the drive back to Sète, where your guide will drop you off at your cruise ship, marking the end of this memorable shore excursion.
