Coulondres Guinguette — point of interest

Perched on the heights of the Coulondres golf course in Saint-Gély-du-Fesc, La Guinguette is a place you always end up recommending, even when you wanted to keep it a little to yourself. Ten minutes from Montpellier's city center but far from the hustle and bustle, it's the ideal spot to unwind for an afternoon, extend a late lunch, or catch a sunset with friends.

A 360° view of Montpellier and its surroundings

What strikes you first is the view. From the terrace, your gaze sweeps across the fairway and then opens wide onto Montpellier, the plain, and on clear days all the way to the sea. Pic Saint-Loup stands watch in the background, stone pines provide shade, and a gentle breeze often rises from the south in the late afternoon. You quickly understand why regulars arrive early to claim their lounger.

# Snacks and Deck Chairs

On the vibe front, no fussy stuff but nothing wild either. Simple, well-made snacks, fresh drinks, sharing boards, seasonal cocktails. You can settle in wherever you like: plush lounge chairs for those in a contemplative mood, wooden tables for livelier groups.

It's the laid-back little sister of the restaurant Les Coulondrines, the beautiful neighboring house: the same demand for quality, in a deliberately more relaxed atmosphere.

Golf Practice and Charging Stations

For sports enthusiasts, the golf practice range is accessible right next door. A few buckets of balls before drinks has become a ritual for many locals.

And a detail that matters today, electric car charging stations are installed in the parking lot: you come from Castelnau, Prades or Montferrier, you charge while you enjoy yourself.

The Charm of North Montpellier

# English Translation At its core, the Guinguette de Coulondres checks all the boxes of what we love about northern Montpellier: nature within arm's reach, unpretentious living, and that very local blend of golf, pine groves, and wide-open horizons. An address to add to your shortlist for beautiful days.
