Tip: In January the frangipane galette is the reason locals queue here; Sunday mornings sell through fast all year.

Maison Scholler has been a pillar of Montpellier pâtisserie since 1962, vanilla and pistachio flans at 7 euros beside entremets and travel cakes.

Worth the queue: Vanilla flan
Station Sucrée bakes alfajores, brookies and dulce de leche pastries on Rue de l'Université in Montpellier, billed as France's first Argentine pastry shop.

Worth the queue: Alfajores
Au Rythme du Pain ferments organic sourdough slowly on Rue du Faubourg Boutonnet in Montpellier, its loaves also stocked by the La Cagette co-op.

Ikonka runs a pastry counter and café on Rue du Faubourg du Courreau in Montpellier, layered croissants, weekly quiches and a lime-ricotta cheesecake.

Les Demoiselles de Montpellier bakes an entirely vegan and gluten-free counter on Rue de la Carbonnerie, cakes and gateaux alongside a short lunch card.
