Special treat: Bang in the centre of the old town, the Baudon-de-Mauny (1) (1 Rue de la Carbonnerie; 0033 467 022177; baudondemauny.com) has the discreet charm of the Montpellier haute bourgeoisie. Its eight rooms date to the 18th century, with 21st-century chic grafted on. Doubles from ?138, two nights minimum.
