- This summer, no (or almost) festivals around Montpellier, due to the Covid-19.
- On the other hand, many open-air events are maintained: wine tastings and local products, cinema sessions under the stars, sports activities, shows, unusual afterworks…
It will not necessarily be a summer like any other. The Covid-19 epidemic forced many organizers to cancel their events. But nothing to get depressed: around Montpellier (Hérault), many open-air meetings are maintained. 20 Minutes has contacted you a small selection to spice up your summer.
Tastings ... in moderation!
If the summers of Montpellier will not take place, those of Lattes are, however, are maintained, Monday to Friday, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., at the mas de Saporta. The concept has not changed: for 6 euros, we are entitled to two tastings of local wines.
