Record stores in Montpellier

Montpellier, Occitanie has 11 record stores on the map. That's 11 record shops mapped around Montpellier. Every shop grades and prices differently, so the same record can be a bargain in one and a splurge in another — dig everywhere. Bring a want-list, but leave room for the find you didn't know you needed.

This guide covers every record store we could verify in and around Montpellier (within about 25 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include O'CD and Le Comptoir du Disque 2, plus Le Comptoir du Disque. If a record shop's missing from Montpellier's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

What the map tells us about record stores in Montpellier

6 of the 11 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — record shops keep shop hours, so the listed times are usually reliable.

3 have websites listed. Worth a look for new-arrival posts and want-list services.

2 of the shops are tagged as selling used vinyl — the dollar bins and used wall are where the real digging happens.

Record digging tips for Montpellier

How the regulars work Montpellier's bins:

• Don't overlook cassettes and CDs at O'CD. The tape and CD sections are chronically underpriced. The format revival hasn't hit them the same way.
• Check the dead wax at Le Comptoir du Disque 2. The runout groove holds matrix numbers that identify pressings. Collectors live by these; a quick phone search settles it.
• Check the vinyl, not just the sleeve. Slide it out (carefully, by the edges) and look at it in good light. Sleeves lie; vinyl doesn't.
• Ask about the return policy. Most used vinyl is sold as-is. Know the policy before the stylus hits a skip at home.

Good to know

We searched about 25 km around Montpellier — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new record store in Montpellier can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 11 that's closed, or a great record store we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

We don't list prices or stock — both change by the day. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 11 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
