Mediterranean line Nîmes – Perpignan
A long journey with a warm sand fragrance.
The train will take you on a journey that can last up to 15 days: from Nîmes to Perpignan, via Montpellier, a landmark Mediterranean city.
After your stopover in Montpellier, head for Gare Saint-Roch to continue your journey. You're already on board a liO train.
Sunny stopovers, each more enticing than the last: Sète, Agde, Leucate ...!
Cycling routes everywhere for easy access to the beaches, to visit oyster or muscat wine producers, ride around all day long or ...
... join the major European cycling route along the Mediterranean (360 km in Occitanie!).
Not to mention bathing in the sea (of course!), kitesurfing, sand yachting, paddle-boarding, canoeing ...
... jousting in Sètes, festivals, as well as turning pages of history with all the monuments, castles and engineering structures along the train's route.
