How to get from Montpellier Airport to Sète by Train

The slowest and least convenient transportation method is taking the train from Montpellier Airport to Sète. To take the train, first you will need to get on the tram from the EcoPôle Station to Gare Saint-Roch in the heart of Montpellier. The thirty-minute walk from Montpellier Airport to the EcoPôle Station makes this option unsuitable for most travelers.

From Gare Saint-Roch, you can take the TER Occitanie regional train. Both the 876357 – Sète and the 876421 – Narbonne trains will take you to the Gare de Sète. You can expect to pay €1.60 for the tram fare and about 6.90€ for the second-class regional train ticket, for a total trip cost of €8.50 per passenger.

The regional trains and the tram run several times per hour from 05:00 to 20:00.

Where do I take the train from?

There is no direct train route from Montpellier Airport to Sète. Travelers opting to take the train will first have to walk to the EcoPôle Station, where they can take the tram to Gare Saint-Roch in the center of Montpellier. At Gare Saint-Roch, travelers can take either the 876357 – Sète or the 876421 – Narbonne train to reach their final destination.

Convenience

Several factors make taking the train from Montpellier Airport to Sète a less-than-ideal transfer option. Although the regional trains and the tram run frequently between 5:00 and 20:00, the walking distance between Montpellier Airport and the tram station lowers the convenience level. Taking the train from Montpellier to Sète is the longest ride out of the three available transportation options and less cost-effective than taking the bus directly from Montpellier Airport.

Using the regional train and the local Montpellier tram to get to Sète from Montpellier Airport is not recommended due to long travel times and the walking distance between Montpellier Airport and the tram station.

Most trains offer seats in the first-class cars for a small price increase.
