"Expats in Montpellier often find the language barrier to be the most difficult aspect of local culture to adjust to as French is widely spoken in the area. Additionally, the warm climate can be a challenge for those who are used to cooler weather and finding cultural activitiesthat are suitable for those coming from a different background can be difficult. The local customs can also be perplexing for those who have only known a different lifestyle, which can take some time to adjust to," wrote a member who made the move to Montpellier, France, France.
