Pain Brut bakes organic sourdough behind the opera in Montpellier, rye, spelt and Khorasan loaves plus gluten-free rice and buckwheat breads.
Tip: The late opening is deliberate: loaves come out for the afternoon and evening trade, so do not turn up at 08:00.
Worth the queue: Le Brut sourdough loaf
Des Rêves et du Pain bakes naturally leavened loaves in an 18th-century wood-fired oven on Rue Eugène Lisbonne, in the middle of the Montpellier Ecusson.
Tip: The wood-fired oven predates the Revolution; come before the early-evening rush for the fullest bread wall.
Worth the queue: Wood-oven levain loaf
Aux Délices du Faubourg is Boutonnet's neighbourhood bakery in Montpellier, country loaves, grain breads and pastries for the student faubourg.
Tip: Open Sunday morning, which most of the city's artisan bakeries are not; the country bread sells through by noon.
Worth the queue: Country loaf
Maison Bonnaire runs a bakery and pastry counter at 45 Rue Saint-Guilhem in Montpellier, with its chocolate shop further up the same street at number 62.
Tip: The éclair range rotates; the chocolate boutique at number 62 keeps different, shorter hours than the bakery.
Worth the queue: Éclairs
Ô Pain Délicieux has baked organic natural-leaven campagne, complet and olive breads on Rue Bernard Délicieux in the Beaux-Arts quarter since 2016.

Worth the queue: Pain aux olives
Maison L'Œuf bakes organic breads, quiches and sculptural fruit pastries on Rue du Faubourg de la Saunerie in Montpellier, open every day of the week.
Tip: Seven-day opening makes it the Sunday-afternoon pastry answer when the Écusson's counters are shuttered.
Worth the queue: Seasonal fruit entremets
