Rugby world cup
comment on the article

Ground: Stade de la Mosson
Capacity: 35,500
Matches: USA v Tonga (Wednesday 12 September - 1300 BST)
Samoa v Tonga (Sunday 16 September - 1500 BST)

So far, Montpellier's main contribution to rugby history is being home to the winners of the 2004 European Shield, but this autumn that will change as the city hosts four World Cup matches.

Fans from across the road will descend upon the southern city, situated 10 miles inland from the Mediterranean, and we want to call upon your expertise and insider knowledge to help make their visit as enjoyable as possible.

Where are the best places to gather and enjoy the pre-match atmosphere? Where are the best vantage points inside the stadium? Away from the rugby, what are Montpellier's best attractions, and what is the best way to get the most out of your visit?

If you are going to games there or know the city from previous visits, then share your knowledge and recommendations here with your fellow fans.

Take the tram to the stadium (line 1). Start your journey at Odyseum right next to Junction 29 of the A9 motorway. Just next to the tram stop there is a 3 Brasseurs where you can get good beer and good food. The tram should be fairly empty at this point but will fill up rapidly as you get near the stadium. Allow about an hour for the journey.
