CAUTION

There are 2 train stations in Montpellier: "Montpellier Sud de France" and "Montpellier St Roch" (city center).
Most trains to Sète depart from Montpellier St Roch.
The connection between the two Montpellier stations (shuttle bus + tram) takes about 40 minutes.

A9 motorway : from East > Sète exit (33), from West > Agde exit (34), and private and secure parking at the Domaine du Lazaret.

Closest airports are Montpellier (shuttle bus + tram + 20 min train from Montpellier Saint-Roch) and Béziers (shuttle bus to Adge, then train or bus from Adge to Sète).

If you land in Paris or Barcelona we recommand that you take a train to Sète rather than a connecting flight to Montpellier airport.
