Directions from Montpellier
Motorists are able to reach the airport quite easily from all parts of the city, and from the city centre, the airport is only a fifteen to twenty minute drive, depending on traffic conditions. It is best to head for the A9 Autoroute, which is the largest motorway in the vicinity of the airport, and take Exit 29 (Montpellier-Est) in the direction of the airport. The exit is about five minutes from the airport, and leads onto the D66 motorway, which is the main road leading to the airport. Just north-west of the airport grounds is also the D172, or the Route de Mauguio, which provides access to the airport terminal road. Many roads from the city lead to the A9, including Av. d’El Alamein, the BD Jacques Fabre de Morihon and the Av. Pierre Mendès-France.
Directions from the west
Although most larger towns and cities of France have their own airports, visitors may need to travel to Montpellier Airport. It is very simple to travel from areas to the west and south-west of the airport, as the A9, the main access road of the airport, is the road to use from these cities, which include Narbonne, Beziers and Agde. Drive north-east on the A9 until reaching the airport’s exit. The airport is fifty-five minutes from Beziers and just over an hour from Narbonne. From Sète in the west, motorists can join the A9 from the D2, or from the D612 which runs past Frontignan.
Directions from the east
Once again, from the east the A9 is an important road, and provides access to Montpellier and its airport from the cities of Orange, Avignon and Nimes. The airport is approximately a forty minute drive from Nimes. From Arles, the A54 leads to Nimes and the A9, which can then be followed in the direction of Montpellier. In general, the airport is very well signposted from all major routes, as the ‘Aeroport Montpellier Mediterranee’.
