Estivales de Montpellier (Friday-night wine market) ★ 4.5
Les Estivales de Montpellier is the city's weekly Friday-night wine market on the Esplanade Charles de Gaulle, running through summer (July into August).
Tip: Les Estivales is the easiest single-evening introduction to Languedoc wine for a Montpellier visit. Arrive at 19:00 to beat the queues; the music programme runs from 20:30. Producers rotate week-to-week so check the city calendar for the current list.
