Monaco tied PSG with 19 points, while remaining second with an inferior goal difference. PSG will host FC Girondins de Bordeaux on Saturday.
Coming back from a 3-0 home loss against Porto in midweek's UEFA Champions League group match, Monaco made five changes to the starting line-up for Friday evening's match, with their goalkeeper Danijel Subasic back from injury.
Colombian striker Radamel Falcao was a lethal weapon for the Principality club again, as he snatched his 12th goal of the campaign in the 38th minute from Rony Lopes' right-flank cross.
Montpellier players maintained their confidence despite a one-goal deficit. They controlled the match for most of the time in the second half, before their effort paid off in the stoppage time.
