Mosquito advice please

by ssherry

Can anyone please tell me how July is looking for Mosquitoes in the area? Are the Mosquito numbers up or down for this time of year? Do they bite even in the daytime? Would you advise the use of Mosquito nets if staying in a Campsite chalet? Please excuse if this all sounds paranoid - it's just have read of some bad experiences on travel blogs and wonder if it all depends on the weather/season?

Thanks in advance for any help?

Mosquitoes, Malaria and Dengue Fever.

This is a question that appears quite a lot here on VT.
You will hear from people who never take any kind of medication.
You will hear from those who do.

May I suggest that you contact your own doctor, practice nurse or travel clinic and ask for their advice?
If they recommend that you use some form of medication, get them to recommend the treatment.
You may find that some treatments you make you ill, if so, ask the doctor for an alternative.

Different anti malaria medication effects different people in different ways, what is good for one person is not always good for another. You won't know this until you have tried a particular medicine.

At present, there is no cure for Dengue Fever.
Unlike the mosquitoes that cause malaria, dengue mosquitoes bite during the day.

Is prevention better than the cure?
Of course it is.
DEET based products are the most effective way of repelling mosquitoes.
Available in different forms and strengths, users should always read the instructions carefully

“I will only be there 3 or 4 days, do I really need to take the medicine”
It does not matter, if it is an infected area, 3 or 4 minutes is all it takes to get Malaria.

Either way, you can return from your holiday with some great photographs, a sun tan and good memories or in a body bag.
The choice is yours.

True fact: - Malaria has killed more than half the people who have EVER lived.

This reply may appear to be a little melodramatic and over the top.
IT IS MEANT TO BE.
Too much irresponsible and bad information is given out over forums regarding the mosquito and its potential to kill.

Travel Tips for Montpellier

Rebuffy Pub

by Suet

This was a real find! The kind of pub I would have adored to have been part of back in the 60's. I will quote directly from the brochure if I may:

The Rebuffy pub is your international meeting place for cultural exchanges, always within a festive and relaxed atmosphere, Rebuffy offers you many great delas and attractions which will keep you coming back.

Cinema: The Festival des Palmes whic happens every year at the Rebuffy presents for you a selection of short films. The Rebuffy takes care of your need to get away from it all.

Exhibits: Our walls are offered to young talent in rotating exhibits of painting and photography. Rebuffy takes caer of your artistic side.

Games: An ample choice from card games to society games to regular chess tournaments will keep your neurons crackling.

The general philosphy is that this is a place to exhibit your work, dink, chat, chill out, exchange ideas and culture and not too expensive either. It would appeal to people who are happy to give and are very friendly and relaxed. Bit like VTers really.

Antigone

by BurgerQueen

Antigone is an area built from scratch during the 80s, in neoclassical style. What I like the most is entering the Polygone shopping mall from Place de la Comédie et going out from the Antigone exit.
The impression is to be in a different city. Buildings are all built with the same youllowish stones and all look the same. The main pedestrian street leading to the river Lez goes through several squares enriched with beaufiful fountains populated by statues of gods and goddes.
This wonderful area also hosts Montpellier public library (one of the best libraries I've ever seen) and the new swimmingpool.

The Secret World of Montpellier

by jessiegirl

"The center of the world"

I've been to a lot of cities, and Montpellier is by far my favorite. Montpellier is located a little over 3 hours south of Paris by TGV, in the Languedoc-Roussillon region..
I've looked at all of the other Montpellier pages on VT objectively and although their authors did point out the major historical attractions of the city... there is nothing in particular that would make me jump on the next plane to go visit. So with that said, I'm going to tell you everything they didn't.

Zlur's Montpellier Page

by Zlur

Montpellier is the capital of Languedoc-Roussillon in the south of France. It's got impressive architecture, with most of its buildings in gothic style. There is lots to see and do, so you'll need a couple of days to see it all! It's got a very rich history, being a thousand year old city.
