MEZE

The fishing village of Meze, with the quiet beach and the overcrowded harbor with all its restaurants, is a stone's throw away.

Have a coffee in the harbor, walk through the town and take a look at the soap shop Savonnerie Le Serail, the real Marseille soaps, Place de la Mairie or at Les Reflets du Sud

Eating Tips :

• Oh Gobie : www.oh-gobie.com Restaurant with a + ! Hidden away, not between the 'tourist restaurants with pictures on the menu board', opposite the fish auction, the address for tuna, among other things. Fresh, straight from the sea. Forbidden to ask for 'well done' if they ask how you would like to eat your tuna… Special attention to dessert: there is only one, so that's an easy choice.

 

Event:

• Escale a Sete

 

 

MONTPELLIER

You cannot have been to Saint Paul without visiting Montpellier. For the very small children (and then also the parents ...) there is a real train that shows the highlights of Montpellier (...). A great (student) city, with all the trimmings. Museums, countless winding streets, beautiful squares with unexpected corners, shop-until-you-drop, everything is there.
