'Saint-Roch' is the main
railway station in
Montpellier,
France. Although the station was formerly known as 'Gare de Montpellier' but since March 2005 bears the name of
Saint Roch, a native of the city born in the 14th century.
Since the beginning of the
2000s, the station is in the middle of an urban regeneration project involving old railway property called the ''Nouveau Saint-Roch''.
Saint-Roch is one of the principal transport hubs of
Languedoc-Roussillon situated between
Nîmes and
Sète.
The station building comprises a listed front face and a passenger building laid out on three levels. What was the bus station above the tracks is now a short stay
carpark.
