Dijon to Montpellier Route Overview

This route links Burgundy with the Mediterranean by following the Saone and Rhone axis before turning west toward Nimes and Montpellier. The main line section south of Lyon gives a clear contrast between vineyard country around Burgundy and the drier landscapes near the lower Rhone and Languedoc. Seat reservations are compulsory on TGV INOUI, so every ticket includes an assigned seat; TER or regional legs on connecting itineraries may not have reserved seating. A practical detail for Montpellier is station choice: Saint-Roch is in the city center, while Sud de France is outside the center and normally needs a tram, shuttle, taxi, or local connection.

The train links Dijon Ville with Montpellier Saint-Roch in about 3 hours 5 minutes on the fastest direct TGV INOUI, avoiding transfers to airports outside both cities. Long-distance buses on this corridor usually take most of the day and may use stops outside the rail-station core. Flying is rarely direct between Dijon and Montpellier because Dijon has no major scheduled commercial airport, so air travel normally means ground travel to Lyon or Paris before the flight. Rail also has a lower carbon footprint than car or air travel on this domestic French route.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
