Quick ride by bicycle from Montpellier to Saint-Jean-de-Védas

Set off from the heart of Montpellier and make your way southwest to the laid-back suburb of Saint-Jean-de-Védas. This easy ride is just over 9 km and mostly sticks to quiet roads and cycleways, so you can relax and take in the Mediterranean vibes without having to worry much about busy traffic. You’ll wind out of Montpellier’s historic center (famous for its medieval streets and lively squares) and quickly find yourself surrounded by a more peaceful, residential landscape as you approach Saint-Jean-de-Védas—a smaller, charming town with a mix of old stone buildings and modern spaces.

The route is pretty gentle with a few small hills, so it’s beginner-friendly but won’t feel totally flat either. Surfaces are mostly paved, making for a smooth trip. Along the way, you might even spot some vineyards or patches of parkland, giving you that perfect South of France experience in under an hour’s ride. Enjoy the fresh air, the sunshine, and maybe plan a café stop at your destination!
