Book early for 29 October 2026 if you want one of the 2 walkable Mauguio hotels, since the nearest is only 0.65 kilometres from the arena.

Getting to Sud France Arena Montpellier
The arena sits on Montpellier's tram line 3, with the Parc Expo stop right at the venue; this line also connects to the city centre and the main SNCF station. Drivers can use free car parks, Parking A to the north and Parking B to the south, with Parking A closest to the entrance; approach via the A9 or A709 motorway, using junction 29 Montpellier Est from the north or east, or junction 30 Montpellier Sud from the west, then follow signs for Parc des Expositions or Arena. For high-attendance events, visitors may be directed to Parking B via the Perols exit. Montpellier Mediterranee Airport is just minutes away, taxis and private hire cars serve the arena directly, and wheelchair users have two dedicated access points via the VIP or loges car park.

Overflow Parking B used for high attendance events
For events with particularly high attendance, visitors can be directed to the additional Parking B car park via the Perols exit rather than the main Parking A area. This southern car park sits further from the arena entrance and takes somewhat longer to walk from than Parking A.
Arena sits just minutes from Montpellier airport
The venue is located only a few minutes from Montpellier Mediterranee Airport, making it a convenient drop off point for spectators flying in for an event. This proximity is highlighted by both the city tourism board and the arena's own promotional information.

Taxis and private hire cars serve the arena directly
Local taxi and VTC private hire drivers regularly collect and drop off passengers at the arena, including late night departures after events finish. These operators are familiar with the access roads and drop off zones used during major events, helping spectators avoid saturated car parks.
Dedicated access points for wheelchair users
Spectators with a disability card are directed towards the VIP or loges car park and then use two dedicated access points reserved for wheelchair users and their companion, with lifts available to reach the fixed stands. This arrangement is confirmed on both the official arena accessibility page and independent venue guides.
