That airport express tram is very easy and cheap. There is a TGV station right at the airport, though. It may not go to Montpellier, but I know trains from there go to Marseille and Arles (and Avignon or Valence where you can get a TGV to Montpellier). So it's up to you where you want to transfer.

Is €13 cheap for some people ? Actually I do find it so expensive. A friend of mine livign in Lyon take it occasionally but I never asked so did not think it that expensive.
> The trouble when changing in Avignon is that you might have to change station ..
Unfortunately, it seems the case unless OP can take a very rare TGV leaving Avignon TGV to Montpellier. I see one that one (coming from Marseille) leaves Avignon TGV at 18h07 on a day.
