The best bars and cafés Charente

Next to the facade of the town hall, the terrace and ambience of Le Cabana have made this bar-lounge-restaurant famous. Here you'll find colorful, vitamin-packed cocktails, spirits and arranged rums, as well as an extensive wine list. In the basement, a ^16th-century vaulted cellar offers a modern, musical night-bar atmosphere. The place can be privatized.

Come for the conviviality of a drink and a board to share, or to extend the evening after enjoying the restaurant. A great atmosphere at Le Cabana.

A pleasant atmosphere where the Chaniérauds (inhabitants of Champniers) give themselves an appointment for a drink or lunch. The menu is generous: soup or sardine or peach before a supreme chicken sauce sauce and vegetable pan, followed by cheese… and, it's not finished… Provided you have some appetite for a black forest, tiramisu, coconut pie, ice… All this at a modest price.

The site has been working since 1975 and still offers new activities over the years. The most important event is on August 14 with a fire firework fire bringing together 20 000 spectators from all corners of the department. Today we practice sailing, canoeing and mountain biking. Children's games, a quad route and supervised swimming are available to the public. There is a snack-restaurant held by Richard Myers which offers salads, grills, sausages, ham, etc.

Fish on the wall, grass on the ceiling, all in a cosy, bohemian-style setting, with a spacious interior, sofas for conversation and a terrace, you've arrived at La Cave l'Incontournable. In this impressive wine cellar, people come for the conviviality of a drink with friends, and let themselves be tempted by tapas, plates to share with cheeses, charcuterie and spreads, and tasty pinsas.

The winery regularly organizes events. L'incontournable, as its name suggests, is an address not to be missed.

Carméninon is halfway between a café and a ceramics workshop, and is an invitation to conviviality around art and creativity.

On the art side, the idea is to choose a piece of crockery, from 5 to 50 euros, paint it, then give free rein to your imagination, during the 2h30 workshop, and pick up your work a week later, dipped in enamel and fired.

In the café, drinks and homemade sweet and savoury treats are served in a setting that makes you feel right at home.

A warm welcome and a charming concept.
