Summary

The Amateur Traveler talks to Christine Cantera about her time living in the Languedoc region of France in the city Montpellier. Montpellier is sometimes called the San Francisco of France. Christine shares with us a few thoughts about cafes, bars, which museums are worth it (and which aren’t), beaches, fortified cities, when to visit, and the one day of the year when nobody in France gets any work done. She discusses what are her favorite 3 places to see in Languedoc including one seaside town that still has jousts but with a very nautical twist.NewsSouthwest attendant takes baby after slap from motherAmerican Airlines to Charge for Front-Row SeatsNursing at SeaShow NotesFrance Travel GuideMontpellierLanguedocJardin des plantes de MontpellierLe Petit Train Touristique du Centre HistoriqueLanguedoc wineLe Jardin du Champs de MarsPaparazziLa Dolce VitaAigues-MortesCarcassonneParc naturel régional de CamargueMusee FabreAntigone DistrictPalavas-les-FlotsSèteNîmesBeaujolais nouveauBar le Saint-RochMissExpatria’s photostreamCommunity Sam was looking for a show on MaltaDon't use the first LukeDon’t use the first Luke Learn more about your ad choices.

0:36.5	Before we get into today's interview,
0:38.2	I do have two travel stories for you.

0:57.8	And I do not envy Southwest being in this position because I think they were damned if they did and damned if they

1:09.4	charging extra for the front row seats in the passenger cabin. That won't cause me any grief
1:15.5	because I like to sit in the back, get there early, and find a place for my luggage.
