First off, before I show you pictures and regale you with tales of our adventures in good ol' Montp and the surrounding area, I have to give a shout out (AHHHH) to OuiGo.
These were the only trains we could rely on during the strike, they were on time, fast, and comfortable. And a ticket from Lyon to Montpellier was €10. Exsqueeze me? Baking powder? That's right. €10. Our tickets from Montpellier to Paris were (you guessed it) €10.
To those of you who have not often traveled in France, this is a huge FREAKING deal. €45 to Paris is an ok deal for tickets bought a few weeks in advance and it's not unheard of to pay €90.
OuiGo, you are the best. And I love you.

The catch: You need to print out your ticket yourself or put it on your smart phone to show at the station (easy), you only get one carry-on for free and you need to pay a little extra for a bigger bag (whatevs- same as most airlines these days), there is no bar car (bring your own snacks- train snacks are expensive anyways).
