Montagnac centre is only a short walk into the centre where you can buy croissants and bread in the morning from one of three bakeries. The Spar shop will cater for most of your needs and there is a fruit and vegetable stall on the square.
We enjoy having a drink at one of the bars while we wait for a take out pizza, when we first arrive. Lunch at the bar is always lovely and in the high season (July & August), you can have dinner on the esplanade and enjoy the festivities on Tuesdays and Saturdays. There is a fantastic restaurant called BK, please book in advance for this. The nearest supermarket is Carrefour in Pezenas, 15 mins drive away.
We love to go kayaking on one of the many rivers or hire a boat from Meze for the day. We recommend exploring the beaches at Meze, but there are also lovely beaches at Marseillan and Agde.
The Aqua Park at Agde is great fun for teenagers and the Dinosaur Park on the way to Meze is fun for little ones.
Go wine tasting in any of the many wine Domains which feature in this area, you will find delicious Rosés, and Picpoul de Pinet's at great prices.
