Moving near to Montpelier (Montpellier)

Hi everyone!

I will be relocating to France next year, and we have narrowed our search (having toured extensively and done some homework) to around the Montpelier area.

I visited Pezenas last year which we loved, and now looking for a vibrant village or town that has access to good schools for children ( Protected content ) and a small english community with young families but not overrun with english… Any suggestions? We would like to be within one hour of Montpelier. Any feedback on living in this part of france would be immensely helpful! Thank you!
