Casinos billiards and bowling Calvados

Experience a convivial moment! There's something for everyone here, from the youngest (3 years old) to the most experienced. Some are here to have fun, others are real pros. Oncle Scott's bowling alley in Mondeville features 22 lanes, a bar, billiards and video games. There's something for everyone, not just strike fans. And if you really can't find what you're looking for on the games front, just walk through the swing doors and head for the country-western world.

Clairefontaine, of course! Inaugurated in 1928, this racecourse is known as the most flowery in France. On all the days of the meeting, it hosts all three disciplines: trotting, flat and jumps. Very clever: free behind-the-scenes tours of the racecourse on race mornings! Catering options range from snack bars to four trackside restaurants, including a "table gourmande". "More than a racetrack, a party track!"

In the heart of the city is one of the most beautiful racecourses in France. Born from the land reclaimed during the creation of the Caen Canal to the sea, the site hosted its first race on 26 August 1837. The city then decided, in 1839, to create a permanent racecourse. Today, nearly thirty meetings are scheduled every year. The 1,954 m sand track, reputed to be very fast, and its long straight line of 450 m, make it a paradise for qualifying. The racecourse at La Prairie is said to be the antechamber of Paris-Vincennes!

Incontournable! The Barrière de Deauville casino is a bit like a city within a city. Table games, slot machines, poker room, but also three restaurants, a nightclub,a theatre and two bars, including THE star of the lounge spirit: the O2 Sofa Bar, designed by the extravagant Jacques Garcia. The decorator has masterfully blended absolute modernity with baroque style. What's more, this bar offers the most captivating view of the sea from its 200^m2 terrace.

Built near the beach by Alexandre Durville in 1912, the Trouvillais Casino has undergone extensive renovations in recent years, without losing any of its architectural cachet. There's everything you need to have a great time between two dips in the sea. Amateurs will find plenty to do: slot machines, French or English roulette, blackjack... Dinner shows in the Salon des Gouverneurs are just some of the many activities on offer. Here, it's less stuffy than in Deauville!

Today, a new-generation Partouche casino with a beachfront bar. Yesterday, a place that welcomed the greats of song, when Bruno Coquatrix was mayor of Cabourg and director of the Olympia. And tomorrow? We'll be talking about a new casino at the entrance to the town by 2025. On the other side of the gigantic staircase, the Kaz's terrace offers tasty cuisine. Traditional and spicy, salads and burgers, fish and seafood, there's plenty to choose from. With a breathtaking view of the sea. Shall we indulge in a glass?

At Sparkle, the gloom stays at the door, making way for good humour! Sisters Tessa and Alyssa had the bright idea of taking over the WarpZone and turning it into a sparkling, colourful place! The concept: themed bar with consoles, board games and lots of evening entertainment (St. Patrick's Day was well worth the detour!). What we really like is the pop culture spirit, even in the names of the (good!) cocktails. A choice of burgers and snacks to top it all off, so you can recharge your batteries and excel at the latest games. To your controllers!

The Cabourg racecourse, with its 1,275 m sand track dedicated to trotting, welcomes you all year round. It is fully booked during the summer, every Tuesday and Friday during the Estivales. With advance booking, you can visit the stables up close to the horses and watch the trainers make final adjustments in the boxes. A wide range of catering options: snack bar, panoramic table (Le Marcel Proust) and a friendly brasserie (La Terrasse), set back from the tracks and more affordable. We come here to play, but not only! Run to Cabourg!

Located facing the sea, the Casino Barrière de Ouistreham is a place to play, relax, meet people, and sometimes even put on shows. 150 slot machines, a table games area (boule, blackjack, electronic English roulette and Hold'em Poker), a discotheque (open at weekends), a bar and two restaurants, one of which overlooks the beach: there's plenty to keep you entertained. Evening dances, revues and cabaret dinner shows occasionally attract the public. Don't forget to bring your ID! All we have to do is wish you good luck.

Facing the sea, this Tranchant Group casino boasts a hundred slot machines and gaming tables (boule, electronic roulette, blackjack, stud poker). You can lunch or dine in the restaurant, featuring traditional cuisine. The program also includes a variety of shows: concerts, theatre, magic shows... Finally, note that there are rooms here for organising your meetings or events. It's a playful place, ideal for rounding off a relaxing day.

9,000^m2 dedicated to paintball! The aim? You don't shoot at each other for the fun of it, you have to find a flag in the centre of a field and hang it in the opponent's camp, while avoiding the projectiles of the competitors. With 5 fields, there's plenty of fun to be had. But don't jump into the action without first equipping yourself with an air pistol, goggles, chest protector and tracksuits. There's also a clubhouse-shop where you can recover from your emotions and, why not, buy your own accessories. Laughter guaranteed!

Dive into the heart of Normandy's history during World War II and find yourself in June 1944 in the shoes of a resistance fighter, responsible for ensuring the complete success of the Overlord mission, all in 60 minutes, not one more! Logic, team spirit and observation will be your great allies in this quest against the clock. A second puzzle (disturbing disappearances in the region in 1968) is also available, as well as an activity for children aged 7 and up: a dark story of pirates and bewitching mermaids. It's your turn to play!

You will have to conduct life-size investigations in a setting worthy of an Agatha Christie novel. Your mission: find the author of the crime among the breathtaking scenarios proposed.

The creators of this escape, a bit out of town, are waiting for you for a short briefing before living an extraordinary experience. For this, three game rooms await you: 'Poker Room', 'Retro Game' and 'Labo Oublié'. The latter has won nothing less than the 2019 Escape Game Award for best decor and best game in Normandy!

An isolated escape game in a somewhat mystical warehouse area, especially at night, located in the old slaughterhouses. The setting is set! Don't worry, the welcome is warm, but players are quickly immersed in the atmosphere. Without "spoiling" the rooms, the stories to choose from are called "Psychiatric", "Phobia" or "In Prison". We are already shivering! Your mission: to solve riddles and get out of the six rooms with different themes (and stress levels!) as fast as possible. Sensitive souls should abstain!

Adventurers, it's this way! 5 rooms, including a new one this year: after Egypt, Japan, Peru and Cambridge, it's off to the Middle East! discover 5 atmospheres and 5 settings in this escape game. Come and travel as you solve enigmas. The atmospheres and adventures are imagined by Pierre and Benjamin.
