🇫🇷 Montpellier St-Roch

Major

France

Montpellier Saint-Roch, UIC 8777300, is the main station of one of the fastest-growing cities in France and the capital of the Hérault department. It marks the southern end of the LGV Méditerranée and lies on both the Bordeaux–Marseille and Toulouse–Marseille axes, which makes it a pivot for rail travel across the south of the country rather than merely a regional terminus. TGV services and an extensive TER network both use the platforms. The station connects directly with the city's tram system, giving access to the beaches, the university campuses, and the historic Écusson quarter. Saint-Roch stands near 43.60° N, 3.88° E, and its departures are timed to Europe/Paris. The surrounding district takes its name from the adjacent Saint-Roch church.
