Montpellier is a city in the South of France.

Apart from an attractive city in itself, it is situated next to a main highway A9/E15 connecting connecting cities such as Perpignan and Barcelona to the South, Aix-en-Provence and Marseille to the East, Lyon and Paris to the North, and Toulouse and Bourdeaux to the West.

Going South or West: Perpignan, Toulouse, Bourdeaux and Barcelona

In Montpellier there isn't a Péage so best thing is to make your way as close to the highway A9/E15 as possible. One option is to get to Place de L'Europe, for example by taking tram line 1. From there you can see already signes to the highway. You can either follow those signes and the main road (Avenue de Président Pierre Mendes France) for about 15 to 20 minutes, or get a ride from where this road starts to either your destination or to a better location further up the road, at the roundabout where the main highway A9/E15 actually connects to the Avenue de Président Pierre Mendes France.

Going North or East: Lyon, Paris, Aix-en-Provence and Marseille

Follow the same directions as above.
