The wine list is extensive, and there's a wide choice of cocktails: from Mamette, a start-up from Aix-en-Provence that you'll find in the guide, to Jardin d'été (gin, cider, orange blossom and lemon) and Melon Martini (vodka and melon juice), everything is fresh and often homemade. It's a wonderful, fresh discovery! Let's run there!

AUX PIEDS TANQUÉS
Read moreHardly a year goes by without the Belle-de-Mai district, around La Friche, seeing the arrival of an exciting new address! To be perfectly accurate, we're not actually in La Belle-de-Mai, but a stone's throw away, and at Les Pieds tanqués, a stone's throw counts. Here, in a place that's all about conviviality and meeting new people, lots of young people come for a drink, a bite to eat and a game of cochonnet. Because yes, Pétanque does indeed come from "tanned feet", and its name did indeed derive from this expression when it was created in La Ciotat. We love the healthy spirit of this new place for sharing, the idea that Provencal heritage can be combined with our modern lifestyles.
L'INFUSION
Read moreA few weeks of work and a new skin for this café, which is now a must in the Opera district. The dynamic Dvozig is still at the helm with his unstoppable concept of tea and infusions bar. A cosy place with a beautiful terrace where you can lounge in the sun while enjoying the liveliness of the Place de l'Opéra. To eat now, Dvozig has revisited things with a tribute to its origins: small home-cooked Armenian dishes and snacks, at low prices. But Infusion is also and above all a place to discover the world of tea. About forty references and some of them change according to the seasons. We still like it, bravo to Dvozig who reinvents himself.

THÉÂTRE MARIE-JEANNE
Read moreCreated by Sam Harkand & Cie in 2000, this theater is happily developing its specificity: expressionist theater. Inspired by commedia del arte, burlesque and cabaret, this technique opens up new possibilities for the actor. Masks, clowns, jesters and puppets take to the stage in direct dialogue with the audience. The actors, with their singular acting style, create a colorful universe of expressive bodies, costumes and music. A place of residence and creation for companies, it is also a training ground for rediscovering these rare techniques.

Read moreClose to the Cours Estienne-d'Orves and its liveliness, sheltered by stairs leading to the Rue Sainte, this recently opened bar is festive and committed to a zero waste approach, quite unheard of for a nightclub. Indeed, here, when you drink beer, you clean the beaches: each liter of beer consumed allows the cleaning of one meter of beach by the committed teams of Le Mousse. Because Le Mousse, beyond being a committed brewery, is also and above all a brand of eco-responsible clothing produced in France. Drinking and partying for a good cause is a clever concept that we really like. While drinking sensibly of course because you won't save the planet alone.
