Welcome to What A Trip !

Fostering a better understanding of the world through the practice and culture of travel is the mission of the organizers of What a Trip! Montpellier gave themselves in 2016 by organizing a federating festival for the travel community.

This is why every year, at the end of September, the Esplanade Charles de Gaulle in Montpellier turns into a giant bivouac for 4 days by hosting the international festival of travel and adventure films!
