You've got various options flight wise. You can get to montpellier direct from Leeds/Bradford or Birmingham. Or you could get a flight to Nimes and the train to montpellier.
Depends how long you want to go for. For example you could go thursday to monday leeds/bradford - montpellier, flights are currently about £140. I know quite a few doing this.
Personally I'm going on the Friday, flying to Nimes then getting the Monday flight back from Montpellier to Leeds/Bradford. Flight costs for this at the time weren't too different (not sure what they are now) but obviously one less night's accom and spends.
Acoomodation wise you want something close to the comedi central square as that is where the bars/restaurants tend to be so you'll need somewhere to fall in to

. I'm stopping in the Ibis this year. Stopped in citidenes last year which is about a 5-10 minute walk from the square.
