This work presents CHARA/VEGA H$\alpha$ spectro-interferometry (R ~ 6000, and$\lambda$/2B ~ 1 mas) of HD 179218 and HD 141569, doubling the sample of HerbigAe/Be (HAeBe) stars for which this type of observations is available so far.The observed H$\alpha$ emission is spatially unresolved, indicating that thesize of the H$\alpha$ emitting region is smaller than ~ 0.21 and 0.12 au for HD179218 and HD 141529 (~ 15 and 16 R*, respectively). This is smaller than forthe two other HAeBes previously observed with the same instrumentation. Twodifferent scenarios have been explored in order to explain the compact lineemitting regions. A hot, several thousand K, blackbody disc is consistent withthe observations of HD 179218 and HD 141569. Magnetospheric accretion (MA) isable to reproduce the bulk of the H$\alpha$ emission shown by HD 179218,confirming previous estimates from MA shock modelling with a mass accretionrate of 10^-8 Msun/yr, and an inclination to the line of sight between 30 and50 degr. The H$\alpha$ profile of HD 141569 cannot be fitted from MA due to thehigh rotational velocity of this object. Putting the CHARA sample together, avariety of scenarios is required to explain the H$\alpha$ emission in HAeBestars -compact or extended, discs, accretion, and winds-, in agreement withprevious Br$\gamma$ spectro-interferometric observations.
