Fun and entertainment Bouches-Du-Rhône

An address that was lacking in a Panier that tended to get drowsy too easily at the end of the day. At Tout vin à point, we take place in a nice little wine bar, which also serves as a dining bar. The owner will advise you on a nice selection of natural wines according to your preferences. A very lively place, where exhibitions and concerts take turns to never get bored. On the tasting side, to accompany your glasses of wine, there are boards of cold cuts, cheeses or mixed, but also a choice of Breton buckwheat pancakes. Conviviality assured and atmosphere that takes every time. It's a great place to meet people and it's a guarantee for the life of the neighborhood.

A historic bar in La Ciotat where petanque was invented! The café reopened in 2015 after a major makeover. Make way for a studied concept, a pretty setting with its mosaic floor, its line of tables on the terrace... Here, we give pride of place to local products from the Provencal craft industry with pastry cakes, ciotadens cookies or homemade lemonades. It is the ideal place for a sweet break: breakfasts, ice creams, waffles, hot-dogs, bagels, soups... The good idea: a solidarity bookshop is adjacent to the café!

In summer, the roof terrace of La Friche comes alive and opens to the general public for DJ sets, concerts and open-air cinema. It's the place to be for the inhabitants of Marseilles to enjoy the animations and the magnificent view. You can discover Marseilles from a very urban point of view. With family or friends, you can enjoy the "spot" with its deckchairs, its food trucks andits bar. The public is varied, family and festive. On Thursday, it's a picnic for families.

Emki Pop is first and foremost a name that will remind you of delicious popsicle sticks. A local brand born in 2016 and delicious sorbet sticks that can now be found in many outlets in the city. But since 2017, Emki Pop also rhymes with a cafe, the first sedentary address after months of work in a scooter. A nice little café in the Vauban district, where you can taste the house specialties, the latest ice cream novelties, but also a wide choice of gourmet hot drinks and some very fun. Some small tables on a raised terrace in front of the store. A real charming little address.

The Longchamp district is rich in good addresses, but it was lacking a coffee-shop worthy of the name where you could enjoy good specialty coffees at any hour, complemented by a pastry or lunch on the go. That's exactly what the young couple behind Pollux thought. Two conversions later, we find ourselves in a café with a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. It's like being in northern Europe or the United States, but with the conviviality that makes our city so charming. Local coffees from Brûlerie Moka in particular.

With a capacity of 1500 people, the Rooftop is an unmissable spot in the city of Marseille, shining even nationally and internationally ... With the rhythm of the seasons, this breathtaking site hosts a weekly program, eclectic and sought-after. French and international artists and DJs, concerts, performers, exhibitions, outdoor projections, fashion shows or even privatization events ... are on the rendezvous and make up the air of Marseille! In winter, it is one floor below that the evenings are organized, a fairy-tale view!

A new address in the old town centre that bourbon lovers have already adopted. On the charming Place Sadi-Carnot, you will love the cosy interior of this bar run by an Italian in love with La Ciotat. A la carte, renowned spirits, rum, gin and whisky. There is something for every taste. The place to have a drink with class without it becoming "have you seen me". Very nice wine list too, Italian of course and French. You can also enjoy a picnic with some nice homemade piadinas, a real delight!

The Belle de Mai district does not stop at the Friche. A little further on, a sort of festive echo, that of the Chapiteau. An amazing place that unfolds behind the walls of a former bowling alley. A hybrid space of 2,700 m² dedicated to your pleasure! A complete place to relax, shoot iron, eat, listen to music and dance in the open air, in the afternoon and in the evening. A cultural and artistic place, popular and inclusive. In the middle of the huge field, on recycled pallets, stands a small marquee under which DJs and performers take turns. Around it: tables to sit at, an organic bar, a pizza counter and a bowling green. With friends or family, you can have fun, sip a craft beer or a glass of organic and local wine, in short, have a good time! The indoor room and its bar allow you to prolong the pleasure in clubbing mode. Varied program of local and international DJs. Electronic and dub music. A modern guinguette in a good spirit where respect for the body and nature are a must. The Chapiteau is a creative, modern, friendly and frankly endearing place!

Le 3 C is a cultural and civic café run exclusively by volunteers. Prior to the creation of Le 3 C, Aix-en-Provence lacked a citizen-run space for debate, reflection, creative cooperation and the discovery of both amateur and professional artists. An alternative cultural space to the omnipresent consumerist commercial culture. At 3 C, associations can find their place within a collective approach. A snack bar featuring organic, local, artisanal and/or fair-trade produce is also available. In this convivial space, you can simply come for a drink and, above all, share, learn and create. Plus: workshops on Tuesdays (sketching), Thursdays (computing) and one Friday a month (writing). Every Tuesday of the month, there's a big meal to which everyone is invited. A great address to discover!

You will find, in this mythical establishment of the city, an Italian restoration, and in particular the foccacia declined in various flavours, and the ice creams manufactured artisanalement are the new markers of the Bar of the Market. Also on the menu are charcuterie boards, seasonal boards, sandwiches and meal salads. Everything is perfectly fresh. The service is fast, the prices are quite reasonable and the welcome is pleasant. The perfect place to take a break between two visits of the city.

Always one of our favourite addresses in Cassis. A dining cellar only 50 meters from the port, orchestrated by the sommelier Philippe Bellec. A resolutely epicurean place with over 200 wine references: Languedoc, Bourgogne, Vallée du Rhône and of course the vineyards of Cassis. You can sit in the small dining room in bistro spirit, directly at the counter or on the terrace, and you can place the order: omelette and truffle ham, pata negra, tartine pesto with fresh goat cheese, ideal in early evening or for an improvised aperitif.

During Ju, we knew for a long time a whale that said wave. Today, we go to the Whale to go to the movies or to spend a good culinary moment in the adjoining bistro. Because the Whale of today, opened in 2018, is a cine-bistro that we appreciate a lot. A single room, great comfort, which hosts film debates, workshops or previews. On the movie program, classics, alternative films and current themes. Some sessions are reserved for young audiences. At the bistro, you can eat fresh and organic food. Nice proposals on the slate at lunchtime and tapas to share in the evening.

No doubt about it: here, wine is king. The bottles climb the walls, taking over every corner of the large space at their disposal. More than five hundred references are available, mostly from natural and biodynamic vineyards. It is a hybrid place, whose warm and relaxed atmosphere invites you to sit at one of the tables for a drink or a meal, as this cellar also offers tasty and quality food. In the summer, it houses the Louis Vuitton ephemeral bookshop.

Vincent Zakrzewski has brilliantly taken over the cellar of the Papazian family, famous for their Pastis & Compagnie boutique a stone's throw away. On offer are draught and bottled beers from around the world, creative cocktails and spirits (whisky, gin, limoncello...) from the region's distilleries. A fine selection of Cassis wines completes a wide choice that's sure to please. Les Caves du Port is a veritable cellar-bar, since everything that can be consumed on site can also be bought to go.

A cozy new café opened in February 2022 just off Chave Boulevard. A judicious location between several schools, nurseries and playgrounds. The café, run by a young woman and her sidekick, aims to be a friendly place to take a quality break. A cocoon where you can enjoy high quality coffees, great vintages, in espresso or in a more sophisticated way. A large choice of hot drinks, juices and some sweets for a nice snack during the week. On weekends, it's brunch with coffee, pastries, pancakes, bread, fruit salad, cold cuts and cheeses as well as home-made jams. Make a reservation, places are expensive.

Between the Plaine and the Julien course, this theater and neighborhood theater created in 2008, with fifty places is led by the actors and directors, Michel Adjriou and Dominique Lamour, founders of the Circle Circle company. A troupe of twenty people, faithful to its authors, who takes up the most beautiful texts of the classical French repertoire and can give a certain modernity to the moralist parts. We also organize workshops for adults and children, French song concerts, music hall… Ask the program!

This small theatre is aimed at a family audience, both in its programming and its adapted schedules. Many performances are placed in the afternoon, for schoolchildren, with really attractive rates for groups and children, who are particularly fond of the theatre. From mime tales, puppets, classical repertoire in clown version (Molière lends himself wonderfully!), initiations to the history of art for young audiences, the ideas flow. Theatre workshops are also offered for children and teenagers. Borrowed from Antonin Artaud, the motto of the Carthusian monks: "Theatre is bottled present! ».

At the Café des Thés, you can relax, read or work, over a coffee, tea or homemade hot chocolate, accompanied by a delicious sweet. In the summer, meet up with friends for an ice cream, a smoothie or a vanilla frappuccino. And at lunchtime, order salads or bagels. If you like tea and coffee, you can buy them by weight, but also teapots and other accessories. A very nice address, to be discovered urgently for the lovers of snacks!

The opening of this new night bar was a real event in spring 2023. A name inspired by the song of the same name by Michel Berger, but an interior decoration with a Gatsby and Roaring Twenties feel. In the center of this bar, a superb piano of course. All this is very successful, the atmosphere is both hushed and festive. Every evening of the week, different parties, disco funk on Tuesday, 80's on Thursday and 90's house music on Friday. Everybody rushes there, the success is there. On the catering side, you can enjoy Damien Delgado's casseroles from the neighboring La Poule Noire. Choice of cocktails with evocative names: Resist, Some words of love...

Classifying this place was very difficult because as its name indicates, it is a place that can be described as eclectic! Halfway between a coffee-shop and a beer cellar, you can come here to have a coffee or share an aperitif with friends. It's a café that we like to visit at any time of the day. At lunchtime, you can eat a dish of the day. For the snack, pastries, cookies very tasty. Finally a selection of craft beers will delight you. Young and family clientele at the same time. We love the colourful and quiet terrace.

Just a step away from the Plaine and the Cours Julien, a new little setting for a quality literary break. This bookshop-café welcomes you in a serene atmosphere, ideal to cut with the crazy rhythm of the city. The small terrace has a few tables where you can enjoy a hot drink and even nibble on a soup, salad or sandwich of the day, very generously garnished. On the bookstore side, a nice selection of classics and new books, very good advice. A smart place if ever there was one.

This new wine bar opened at the end of July 2022, a stone's throw from the boulevard de la LIbération, near the Longchamp district. It is in an old workshop (whose facade has been preserved) that one comes to taste astonishing vintages, living, natural wines, coming from Catalonia, Germany and elsewhere. Two small tables on the street, a little more inside. A large counter and a bar atmosphere in a garage quite surprising but quite pleasant. To accompany your wine, which will be very well advised by the young owner from Avignon, small cold plates of cold meats or vegetarian. Young and trendy clientele. Nice address in the neighborhood.

Passionate about the cabaret atmosphere, Michel Piacenza first opened in 2001 a first dinner dinner in Sommières (Gard). The desire to settle near Marseille pushes him to search for another place, bigger, to imagine a more amazing show with a resident troupe led by choreographer Thierry Brisson and an artistic director, Jean-Michel Contassot. So the professional dancer, songs, imitations, music, audio and stage assemblies, numbers and costumes, nothing is left randomly. Every Friday and Saturday nights (on reservation only), the MP Show offers a comic, burlesque and transformiste journal where cabaret dance AND music hall alternate with the modern jazz. The timing of the performer (stilt, fire handler) is impressive. A real professionalism for this room where famous comics like Roland Magdane or Gérald Dahan are on the monthly meeting (Les Fous rires du MP Show).

The reopening of the ex-Balthazar in 2012, the mythical venue of the Massilia Sound System group, was greeted with relief. There is still room for small concert halls, associative venues often struggling with neighbourhood problems. A new name for a small venue taken over by the O'Bundies team from the Marseilles punk scene: Le Molotov. Hardcore, Occitan rock, sound system, hip-hop, raggaoili, ska or gypsy jazz, electro, we understand that the underground remains the guiding thread for programmers, open to all so-called alternative musical styles. Young and not so young audience. Find the programming online on the website.

On more than 8 hectares, the area of the castle opens up new sensations. Built in the th century by Henri Saver, the founder of the training maritime company, the location seems to want to revive. Everything starts in the afternoon, relaxing by family by the pool. After or before bathing, the Tiki Bar awaits you and one of the 70 deckchairs. Fresh drinks, ice creams, cakes, but also ginger mojitos, limon vodka, gladiators fizz and other drinks that come into the formula coktail + transat. In the evening, it's in the trees that happens, where another cocktail bar makes you rise. Already quite intriguing last year with his Prohibitionist (Carry Nation) bar, Guillaume, is investing in a new summer 2012 concept. In the park, at night, you follow the colourful candlelight, raise your eyes to the sky and see this perched bar. Climb the secure steps and reach this luxurious cabin. The head in the parasols pines, well installed on the benches, you can enjoy a ginger beer, a beer without alcohol on site, small snackings, tapas to grignotter with your fingers. But caution if you feel dizzy or if the intention is to align alcoholic beverages, Pink Garlaban, electro-drink or old rums ambrés. You are 4 metres from the ground, it's about not losing the balance! Drink with moderation.

An atypical address as there are still too few in the Panier and in Marseille. Le Latté is a restaurant but also a unique concert place, with its vaulted cellar dating back to the ^12th century. A café-concert in which one comes to appreciate a concert of jazz or salsa as well as to taste a home-made and seasonal cooking. The musical program can be followed on social networks. On the plate, tatin of candied onions and oyster mushrooms, pecan nuts, roasted razor clams with parsley butter, then back of cod roasted with herbs or Charolais beef chuck braised for seven hours, creamy polenta and butternut mousseline with orange. Amazing, as long as it lasts!

At the entrance to the Roquette district, you'll fall in love with the delicious pastries and divine 100% homemade viennoiseries in this charming, warmly decorated tearoom. Marion's eclairs include cracker éclairs, fig carré and, in season, l'Oranais, a croissant with seasonal apricots and crème pâtissière... The brioche buns and salmon and chicken cheddar bagels are exceptional. A festival of delights. Everything here is fresh and excellent. Focaccia with eggplant caviar, tarts with savory flavors. Go for it!

In the tranquil Niolon cove, where only a handful of quality restaurants disturb the calm of the narrow streets, La Canne Bambou is the place to be for locals and holidaymakers alike, who want to enjoy an evening of tapas and live music. A new tapas bar with a charming roof terrace and a few tables on the chapel square. Marinated octopus, croquetas, chicken egg rolls, raw ham melon and salmon tartare are the perfect accompaniment to your cocktail or glass of wine. A pleasant place full of good vibes!

Located on Rue Herriot, just a stone's throw from the hustle and bustle of the Prado traffic circle, this little café was opened in January 2023 by Sarah and Justina. A lovely cocoon where you can enjoy a gourmet breakfast of freshly squeezed juice, a hot drink, pastries and jam toast, for example, first thing in the morning. At lunchtime, you can choose from a slate of salads, tartines and a daily special. We love the cosy interior, decorated in a modern, uncluttered style, which makes you want to settle in and stay a while. All day long, the café serves as a tea room, and we'll be delighted to welcome you for a well-deserved break.

This magnificent 1829 building, restored in a baroque style of origin, has the apse of the ancient church of Dominicans (second half of the th century). The pediment representing the two angels is a work by Tarasconnais Jean-Barnabé Amy, a renowned sculptor whose famous «Tambour Drum» still rises on the square of Cadenet in Vaucluse. The municipal theatre offers a programme worthy of the largest French rooms. From theatre, dance, humor, coffee-theater, opera and opera, there are for all tastes.

To program enriching and entertaining outings throughout the year. In an auditorium that can accommodate almost 300 people, a succession of top-quality shows, with an emphasis on contemporary writing. These include great classics with modern interpretations, original creations, as well as magic, dance and circus performances, some of which take place outside the theater! A real cultural bubble of air. The program is varied, so everyone, whether solo or with the family, can find their own show.

At the foot of the Beams, and over 4 acres, the academy offers its roundabout, a concert hall with 120 seats, a flexible club-house, Bistrot du Jour. Horse breeders Lusitanians, Joël Laugier and Michel Levieuge learned the dressage according to the principles of the riding from the 18th century. They present high-level riding shows: training days, educational or gala evenings with "royal roundabout at the court of king". Possibility of carriage rides.

Announced for 2019, the new large cinema on the Canebière will finally be inaugurated in October 2021. A real event intended to give a cultural boost to the main artery of downtown Marseille. The building is a jewel box of modernity, with elegant geometric shapes. The cinema has 7 screens and offers mainstream films as well as a more alternative selection. The comfort and equipment are top of the range. On the first floor, the Blum brasserie. On the roof, an amazing rooftop, the Réformés. A major cultural venue!

We knew them by their evenings organized in various places of the city, the Garage Comedy Club of Marseille emancipates itself and opens in September 2021, its own room, entirely dedicated to the stand-up and the improv. Reservations are recommended for each night, you pay the artists by the hat once you are there. Good time and laughter guaranteed. We love the concept, the atmosphere instilled by the organization, the benevolence of the public and the courage of the more or less experienced comedians. The kind of place that Marseille was missing.

A successor of the legendary Poulpason, a true night institution in the Plaine district, the club has become a reference in the small community of Marseille's electronic music. Thanks to a sophisticated programming involving international and local artists, the Baby recently had the honors of the national specialized press. We love the modern decor clubbing, the track and its bar bar, the tables and the bench on the ground floor to extract from the big, the mezzanine equipped with a smomoir and the soundsystem of quality. Programming side: there are local pufts such as Jack de Marseille, the selectors of Radio Grenouille, the members of the Modelism label, or the jokes of the collective Tcheaz. Quality, nothing but quality. One of the last places to dance to the early morning in the neighborhood. Careful, security personnel don't joke.

The oldest cinema in the world. This is where the first public and paying projections of the history of the seventh art took place when the industrialist Antoine Lumière bought a house in La Ciotat. In 1895, Auguste and Louis Lumière invented the cinema and turned around twenty holiday films, including the very famous film «The arrival of a train at La Ciotat station». Later in the 1930 s, the Eden was both a film and a music hall where Yves Montand, Bernard Blier and Fernandel began. In the 1980 s, however, with the assassination of his manager, the room fell slowly into oblivion and closed its doors in 1995. Renovated in 2013, Eden Théâtre is now the dean of cinemas in the world. Cinema of art and essay, it is animated by the association Les Lumière de l 'Eden, which makes it daily that the cradle of the cinema, the monument of cultural heritage became the symbol of a city where it is good to live together. A magnificent room with time seats and an atmosphere out of time, the filmmakers will be filled! Programming to be followed on the website. To do absolutely.

It's an address that's getting people talking. Perched on Cours Julien, in a street of flamboyant street-art, this surprising wine bar has made a specialty of showcasing "orange wine". An astonishing color for our eyes, but so pleasing for our curious taste buds. The color is obtained by vinifying a white wine close to a red wine. A fine selection of vintages from all over the world. The fine wines are accompanied by the cuisine of the chefs in residence each month, Valentin Raffali, the chef-owner having embarked on new adventures.

An amusing detail in the 3 B's restaurant menu: the pizzas are named after wines. Why are they called Sancerre, Sauvignon or Piquepoul? Because 3 B is not only a quality restaurant, but also a wonderful wine cellar. The choice is large, and the owner will give you excellent advice to match your dish and your bottle. The good understanding, he knows it! As well between himself and his customers, as between the dishes and the wines. You can go there with your eyes closed, you will come out fulfilled.

A pretty red storefront, a zen-like red-and-white boutique, lined with large metal tins preserving the scent and flavor of 200 varieties of tea from India, Japan, Thailand, South Africa and China. You can enjoy a cup of tea (with a Japanese pastry) on site, on a small terrace, and even attend the rigorous tea ceremony orchestrated by a Japanese master three times a year. Guillaume, passionate about the art of tea, enthusiastic and expert, will advise and initiate you into the subtleties and specificities of this beneficial beverage. And for tea addicts, there's something new every month... Beautiful tableware ideal for a gift.

100% gay bar located in a small pedestrian street, close to the MG Club. Many boys are at this air-conditioned bar close to the town hall and thermal baths, consisting of a room with the counter on the ground floor and two rooms in basement, arched, with billiard and a baby-soccer to get familiar with a sport often forgotten by the gay or having fun between mates. It is possible to surf the web with the free Internet point. Thematic evenings are regularly organized.

The Devils Mare is the oldest gay settlement in Marseille since the box has been opened since the 60 s. Rather eclectic music: disco, eighties/nineties and house and electro hits of the moment. Themed evenings (foam, oriental, Brazilian…) organized two to three times a month, detailed on the website.
