Fun and entertainment Deux-Sèvres

A third place open to all. In addition to the café/convenience store and free Wi-Fi, there are several spaces for you to do your own thing. A meeting room, a co-working area, a repair workshop - travellers and cyclists, take note of this good plan, as well as a LabTelier. The latter has the latest digital tools, 3D printer, digital embroidery machine, laser cutter and more: it's up to you! The pro team organizes training sessions all year long. Go to the Facebook page to discover the program.

This is an activity that is commonplace and yet, who has already seen a horse race? The audience électrise at the start, the gamblers license, the commentators talk at a delirious speed and we're getting caught in the game soon! In turn, we try to win the jackpot! But beware, if luck can work at the beginning, seasoned gamblers know all the subtleties: horse genealogy, particularity of the terrain, address of the joker… So? Who will be your dada?

The Spot! Since February 2024, the whole of Niort has been buzzing about Café Flonflon, a bar-resto-guinguette-dancefloor with match broadcasts on the big screen. The decor is warm and inviting, the food and service impeccable, and the cocktails happy, prepared by a master in the field. And when it comes to evening entertainment, you can expect a DJ to keep the party going. The place brings people together, relaxes and entertains, in an industrial setting just a stone's throw from the water: why not join in?

Right in the center of town. A pretty, tastefully-decorated, all-wooden tearoom for brunches, lunches and local, seasonal and often organic snacks. Urban vegetarian cuisine, with vegan options: buns and pans bagnats, soups and gazpachos to enjoy on the spot or to take away with a hot cup of excellent tea. Brunch will get you in the mood to explore Bressuire, the coulée verte or the château gardens. Option to compose your own plate. Home-made pastries (including the cake of the moment) and EMKIPOP 100% natural ice cream sticks. Loose tea and coffee.

It's a bar, a restaurant, a concert hall with a dancefloor, in short, a place where you can relax or party. Niort locals love to relax here after work. Le Hangar puts everyone in agreement: the food is good (friendly bistro cuisine), the glasses are full and the atmosphere is top-notch. When it comes to concerts, make no mistake about it: the house knows how to attract celebrities such as Keziah Jones, Ben L'Oncle Soul and Tété. You'll need to book in advance, as these low-priced shows sell out fast.

A few years ago, Le Rouge-Gorge, a self-managed nest of solidarity ideas, settled in the center of Parthenay, organizing a host of events including Gratiferia, every^2nd Saturday of the month: a free market where you can take without giving and vice versa (clothes, knick-knacks, books, etc.). A fervent organizer of concerts and games evenings, this associative venue also plays an active role in the FLIP. A haven for the local artistic and underground scene.

The Boulevard café is an institution. Since almost ever, in spite of the changes of owner, one comes here to drink, to listen to a concert, to see a spectacle, to debate, to release oneself during the game evening, to admire an exhibition. You can also eat here at any time of the day with a home-made savoury pie, and at lunchtime a dish of the day concocted according to the arrivals of the butcher and the organic vegetable garden of the establishment. And also local cheeses, yoghurts and homemade desserts, craft beers from the Pelboise brewery. In short, the address not to be missed in Melle.

The art house cinema of Melle. It shows the latest international alternative films in VOSTFR, the big box-office hits and films for young people. A festival for young audiences is also organised every year in October, followed by the Month of Documentary in November. So you can enjoy the programme in the deep armchairs of the Metullum, a cultural complex where conferences and major concerts are organised... It is possible that a headliner will be there during your stay: check it out online!

Concert hall for contemporary music with an eclectic program. Hip-hop, dub, rock, metal, mix, the association offers a wide range of sounds: one or two concerts are organized every month. Diff'art is also distinguished by its educational will. The year is punctuated by numerous events, special evenings for young people, MAO and writing workshops, meetings with musicians, etc. It will also be possible to take a course at the Rock School, or to take advantage of the rehearsal room. The place welcomes many artists in residence.

Welcome to Julie and Bertrand's home, in the former Relais des Voyageurs d'Airvault, nicely renovated. Behind the imposing porte cochere, a very nice terrace and its garden. In the kitchen, homemade snacks, and we must say that the recipe works! Midday and evenings, you swallow sandwiches, burgers, bokits. A cheap but good quality lunch formula will delight lovers of traditional cuisine. The house is also a bar: you can have a drink and a ti-punch on the terrace!

Saint-Maixent's party bar. Part beer bar, part cocktail bar, part shooter bar, it also serves homemade burgers, pokebowls and a host of tray-tapas. There's also a pleasant garden where you can enjoy a drink under the braziers and to the sound of electro music. The house is also known for its festive themed evenings: Christmas in retro sweaters, soccer match broadcasts, giant 1-2-3 sun, féria and mechanical bull. You can simply enjoy life while you wait for the Hacienda to give you a hard time.
