My husband and I are planning on spending a week there in June. Is it worth it?

We spent 4 nights in Montpellier and enjoyed it very much. In addition to what the city has to offer there are many day trip opportunities.

It is a great base for the area - you can easily day trip to Carcassonne, to Sette, to Nimes etc and we went on a small van tour of villages, geological sites and the Abbey where the cloisters were moved to New York City. Picnic by an interesting lake. d
This was the tour we did and it was well worth it.

While we try to reserve such things direct from the vendor, this small vendor appears to work through agencies like Get Your Guide to market their trip. It was totally satisfactory although the meeting spot was not very convenient -- it was reachable by public transport.
And if you go, have a drink one evening at sunset here; it was pretty swell.
