Fun and entertainment Indre-Et-Loire

5 minutes from Amboise, Julien, Sophie and Aziz are the new managers of this guinguette. A wine cellar full of regional proposals for the most gourmands! You can find about sixty organic wines, about twenty craft beers, but also a wide range of local, fresh and natural products. An authentic spirit that is expressed every year, between April and September, at Le Sauvage, a snack bar inspired by the guinguette, where it's good to be together. All this in an idyllic setting, with your feet in the grass and facing the Loire River!

Near the Place de la Résistance, you'll find the Pacio, a friendly place for those who want to dance the night away. Free for girls except on Saturdays, the Pacio offers a bar, several quiet seating areas and, of course, a great dance floor. The music on offer is varied, and DJs regularly take their place behind the decks. There are also numerous themed evenings. And for those "Pacionnés" who don't want to miss a minute of their weekend, the club also opens on Sunday evenings!

This is the equation at Piraat Café: Touraine bar + Belgian brasserie = this bar beloved by hop lovers. Sylvain and his team have created this new venue in autumn 2019, in place of the former Campus. On the menu, always a smile and good beers. A dozen draught beers are on offer, along with cocktails and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. All are accompanied by delicious cheese and charcuterie boards. As for entertainment, the main room and its stage occasionally host small concerts or improvisation shows, and the giant screen in the first room shows soccer or rugby for the major championships.

Opened in the summer of 2018, The Spot is a bar that has it all: space for intimate conversation, as well as a kids' corner and a cozy couch. Add generous boards, terrines, sardines, and rum babas or panna cotta to snack on, and a menu that displays good wines, varied beers, spirits and cocktails... We are delighted! And a few more details make the place stand out. Here, you can play ukulele, guitar or cajon, or play the piano, or enjoy the exhibitions and concerts offered. The Bibliovore's neighbors also offer books at low prices. A cultural spot!

A beautiful address that combines a cookie factory and a tearoom. Taken over in June 2022 by Mathilde and Mickaël, daughter and son-in-law of the former manager, the store sells cookies made on the premises. The welcome is pleasant, the range of teas on offer extensive, and the confectionery very tasty. On the savoury side, you'll find a range of snacks, including focaccia with a new filling every week. A delicious sweet and savory brunch is offered with a different menu every weekend. When the weather's fine, come and enjoy a delicious meal on the terrace!

When two passionate winemakers share their love of good things and good local products, it gives a friendly address not to be missed in Montlouis-sur-Loire. Especially since the wine bar is located on the route of the Loire à Vélo, in an authentic place, in the heart of a charming village. On the terrace, you will be able to taste local or foreign wine, with good planks or plates of local products. Finally, the welcome is warm.

The brainchild of Sébastien and Wendy from the restaurant L'Epine, and managed by Antoine and Benjamin, this dining bar offers a fine wine list (120 references) from a variety of regions, as well as a selection of beers. It's a welcoming place, and it doesn't take long to settle in for a toast over a platter of charcuterie and cheeses (from MOF Rodolphe Lemeunier). You can also opt for andouillette or beef tartare with beef fat fries. A friendly welcome and "good bowling" are a winning combo, and we love it!

CDNT, Tº, Théâtre Olympia... The National Dramatic Center of Tours has several names! But it is always at the same place, rue de Lucé, that we find each season a program where contemporary creations occupy a good place, under the direction of Jacques Vincey. About fifteen proposals are to be discovered each season, without forgetting the partnerships with other local theaters to welcome bigger productions. Since 2016, the WET festival has brought together young companies from all over France for three days, for an anthology of creations in several places in the agglomeration. And the smart idea: lunch or a snack at the Tº cafeteria.

Opened in 2018, this bar never deviates from its guiding principle: ten beers on draught, so... ten kegs, of course! A branch of the Orléans chain of the same name, this Touraine bar has made a name for itself among lovers of good beers. Local vintages take pride of place, but other craft beers from France and abroad are also on the menu, in bottle or draught. Sitting at the counter, on the terrace or in the cosy room at the back, you can savour these hop-flavoured treasures, advised by Tinos behind the bar. An essential stop-off on a stroll down Rue Colbert, if you like to discover and enjoy good beers.

This concert hall will have known many adventures! Cult for the "old" Tourangeaux, it has seen artists such as Mano Negra, Noir Désir or IAM. But the boat sank in 2010. Since then, a team of enthusiasts is rowing to get it back afloat. In 2020, ready to take the sea, an epidemic passed by. But here it is, in 2022, freshly renovated, the place welcomes artists again. There is the programming, but also "pirate" proposals around the bar. Concerts, exhibitions, animations, projections... A link of culture which gathers.

Here is the good address full of vitamins! In this juice bar, you can drink good fruit mixes blended under your eyes. Fresh fruits on the counter, to make you want to mix them, sometimes in a surprising way thanks to the team's suggestions. Of course, the menu evolves according to the season, and the names of the juices and their puns are promising: stop virus, revitalizer, carpediem! And for the greediest, milkshakes and hot drinks complete the menu next to sandwiches, salads, soups for the small hungers. Everything is home-made!

This is an address not to be missed for lovers of natural wines and craft beers. This is indeed the specialty of this bar opened in 2019. Behind the counter, the owner makes it a point of honor to offer products made with the love of nature and work well done. The menu features a fine selection of natural wines from Touraine and elsewhere, as well as craft beers and soft drinks. It is not rare that wine growers come to taste their latest creations. All this in a relaxed atmosphere. We hope that summer will be synonymous with the return of small rustic dishes for snacking or lunch.

For the compulsive bruncheurs, it is the address not to be missed since the brunch is proposed à la carte every day of opening between 10 am and 1:30 pm. But that's not all! Generous croque-monsieur, filled pancakes, soup, and of course everything needed for a hearty snack are offered every day. The room with a view of the kitchen gives access to a quiet back terrace, ideal for enjoying pastries, a small lunch dish or a brunch. The selection of teas is varied, and we don't say no to a homemade hot chocolate. A little friendly advice: remember to book for the weekend brunch, as it is very popular and places are limited.

A bar reserved for insiders, or for lunch visitors. Behind a simple and efficient front are hidden nearly 750 wine references, tasting boards and other small dishes. Every lunchtime, the bosses offer wines, in a cellar style, tastings, meals and slates, according to the desires of the customers. The place seems discreet, but it is a recognized address, where quality is at the rendezvous, and friendliness too. White, red, pink or sparkling, for everyday life or major events, it is the right place for wine lovers, and a place where individuals and companies can find gifts in the shape of bottles. Always effective!

François, Sylvain and their cohorts have long dreamed of opening their own cultural and gaming bar. The dream came true in 2019. To offer a bar where you can drink, eat (brunch on weekends) and play. Hot and cold drinks are served, with or without alcohol. In the evening, the kitchen prepares a variety of tapas, from patatas bravas for sharing to burgers for the hungrier. But most of all: we're dipping into the stock of board games on offer! A "game sommelier" will even come and explain the rules to you if you need to. It's your turn to play!

Café, bar, grocery store, accommodation... it is difficult to summarize LocaLuna as this project is a place for meeting and sharing. This was Lucile Cuvier's ambition for this old stone building, ideally located between Amboise and Chenonceau. In this entirely renovated space, you will find a store of Loire products with more than 300 references. You can do your shopping but also have a meal: drinks and aperitif boards are proposed. A place of life which is animated by exhibitions and concerts. It is necessary to linger there!

Installed in Tours in the summer of 2020, the pink elephant of the Belgian beer Delirium has seduced a young public fond of warm atmospheres, burgers and good beers. In a large room, warm thanks to its red brick style decoration, you can sit at a small or large table to order a drink from an endless list of beers. It is the specialty of the place! Fruity beers (banana, mango, really?), brown, blond, red or amber, the amateurs will have the embarrassment of the choice. Aperitif boards in the evening and generous burgers at lunchtime will delight the gourmets. Be careful! Here, we speak loudly and we drink (in moderation).

Tucked away in a corner of the Place de la Résistance is this haven for craft beer lovers. Beers concocted here or expertly selected from brewers in France and beyond. Since the summer of 2018, the Crafty Brew Pub has offered a vast choice all year round, which you can find your way around thanks to the staff's good advice. Enjoy your beer on the terrace or in one of the large rooms, with a generous board of charcuterie and tapenades. A big screen for match nights, darts tournaments and themed entertainment punctuate the year.

This converted former warehouse is home to two emblematic structures: the renowned Compagnie Off, a spearhead of street arts with an international reputation, and POLAU, Pôle Arts & Urbanisme. Research into urban planning in the broadest sense is carried out here throughout the year. In addition to regular activities, some of which are aimed at an informed public, major events organized by POLAU and Compagnie Off punctuate the life of this atypical venue. Nights of artistic performances, previews or releases from street arts residencies, conferences, participatory urban experiments: if all this arouses your curiosity, head to the website to make sure you don't miss a thing.

A team adventure game inspired by the TV show Fort Boyard, Prison Island offers two activity concepts: a 23-challenge adventure or a Quizz Boxing arena. Form your own team of prisoners and set off to solve the tactical, technical or physical challenges of the 23 prison cells in the allotted time. If you're a fan of blind tests, enter the Quizz Boxing arena and compete on a variety of themes: cinema, history, sports, video games, music... A fun activity to share with friends and family aged 5 and over!

Although a little out of the way from the heart of the city, the CCNT is worth a visit! The National Choreographic Center of Tours, directed since 2012 by the dancer-choreographer Thomas Lebrun, is dedicated to welcoming companies from here and elsewhere for work sessions and public performances. Each year, the CCNT also organizes the Tours d'Horizons festival in June, with various choreographic proposals in theatres of the metropolis and atypical places (museum of fine arts, cloister of the Psalette...). Sweeping the whole range of current contemporary dance, the programming of the festival as well as the hall is aimed at the initiated, but also at neophytes. Our smart recommendation: take advantage of the free "Curious Hours". 30 minutes of dance and 30 minutes of exchange between the public and the artists, an ideal formula to enter this universe! And in two years, we'll be moving to a brand new building in the Casernes district, to take even better advantage of this cultural offer.

Want to visit places of interest while having fun? Escape Royale is for you! Simply visit one of our dedicated sales outlets, pick up a poster (1 poster per group of 4 is recommended), scan the QR code on your poster and off you go on your adventure! A fun, cultural tour of the city of Tours or Amboise, solving riddles as you go. For groups of 1 or more players, there's no limit to the number of players who can join in the fun with family and friends, while discovering or rediscovering emblematic sites.

Only five minutes from the Royal City of Loches is a small open-air guinguette. A pleasant and bucolic setting, a country atmosphere, animations, music, concerts, games for children and even a petanque field. A bar-snacking area proposes various drinks (some of them from the Loire Valley) and a simple cuisine. So take advantage of the nice days to go there. Authentic welcome, so come and have a good time in the South of Touraine !
