Located in the immediate vicinity of the 4 Tulipes shopping center, within easy reach of the A15 motorway, this multiplex is easily recognizable by its modern architecture. It has a dozen screens, from the largest to the most confidential, and offers modern video and audio conditions. The programming is extensive, and previews, meetings with actors and actresses and comedy shows, for example, are just some examples of the diversity on offer here.

A V&B in Castelnaudary, a successful bet. Same manager as the one in Carcassonne, the concept is the same and works very well in the city of Chaur. Initial concept by two epicureans who love wine and beer, V and B quickly spread the good mood in the sad industrial areas of France. Today, they are friendly stores and bars with 350 beers, 300 wines, 200 whiskies, 100 rums from all over the world and the desire to bring together generations and styles around boards of cold cuts and cheese at low prices.

At the crossroads of the road to Lons and the road to Dole, Laurence welcomes you recently in her café-boutique. She has renovated the place herself in a nice cosy atmosphere with indus accents. On the spot, you can taste her home-made pastries: waffles, cakes, cookies... accompanied of course by a coffee, a tea or a chocolate! She also sells tea in bulk, a wide range of coffees as well as a local delicatessen corner and a nice selection of objects on the theme of tea: cups, boxes, teapots... A really nice place!

A dining bar with a cosy, intimate ambience: dark colors, ochre-hued furniture and subdued lighting, Scandale leaves no one indifferent. Comfortably seated in our sofas, the cocktail menu offers a vast choice of recipes, from the most classic to the most daring, with or without alcohol, and the results are up to scratch. On the other hand, the mixed cheese/charcuterie board was nothing transcendent (an opportunity for us to come back and try the other tapas?). A quick pause in front of the angel wings in the starter before leaving, and that's it!

This tea room invites you to awaken your senses. A gourmet's delight, you can tantalize your taste buds with homemade cakes such as cookies, carrot cake or chestnut cream. Hot and cold drinks (matcha latte, iced coffee or tonic coffee, or the specialty chai tea latte) are available to accompany these delicacies. For creative types, workshops to try out printing techniques are organized on Saturdays (2:30-5pm), such as engraving on Tétrapack, linocutting and, above all, risography: a technique that enables colors to be superimposed on the print. You can reserve your dates or organize your own workshop.

"Good people, good times, good beers" is the slogan of Les Berthom beer bar, which opened in December 2023.

A long, neon-lit coffee shop where you can take a break during the day with a coffee or a hot drink in the barista tradition (cappuccino, macchiato, latte, chai latte, chocolate...). As the area is not overflowing with such establishments, this one is all the more appreciated. Ludovic, the manager, has created a pleasant and original place, with a comic book corner for book lovers, and board games available for those who want to play with friends.

This year, it's an unusual activity that the resort of Les Fourgs offers you: an Explor Games that awaits you in winter as well as in summer!

One of the spots that makes Marseilles vibrate every year in the summer. On the Roucas Blanc beach, in the Prado seaside park, what was for a long time a well-known snack bar for bathers has been reinvented as a bar-restaurant, "à la cool", with its feet in the water. A place to eat at the end of the week, to have a drink until late in the evening on Fridays and Saturdays, or to have brunch with friends on Sundays. In the plate, salads, pizzas, and hop, we go back to sunbathing or swimming. Nothing more, nothing less.

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.

The music, mainly rock, has a lot to do with it. In fine weather, special mention must be made of the terrace, ideally located in the city.

Chez Bichu is now THE café in the village and the surrounding area! Originally an amateur brewer, Mathieu created his craft brewery in 2016 for our delight. He also offers a new life to the café since 2018, keeping some elements of the past, nice mix between OSB, period wallpapers and vintage furniture. In this hyper friendly place, we meet to taste excellent house beers, draft or bottles that we accompany with a board of local sausages! And we leave with a box so much they will have convinced us!

For a moment of rejuvenation and peace. A lunchtime menu with miso soup and delicate dishes is also available. But the stars of the show are the cakes, small or as entremets.

Several beers on draught are proposed to you, and a TV for the sports matches completes the offer. A place to come at least once to feel Argelesian or Argelesian!

La Guarida is the right place for tasty drinks in a lively atmosphere. Sit at the bar with a delicious drink and melt into the nightlife.

And it's not just the food or the drinks, we love the atmosphere and the various activities offered. In summer, the Guarida makes its guinguette and moves on the Avenue Torcatis on the banks of the Têt. Family atmosphere and a little overexcited, we like.

This Poitiers bar is an institution. In the past, magistrates used to come here for a black coffee between hearings. Change of ownership in 2022.

Located next to the Musée Dobrée and just 2 steps from Place Graslin, Handy (Have A Nice Day) is a lively place run by Guillaume, who opened this multi-faceted restaurant. From morning breakfasts to hearty lunches, brunch specialties and a gourmet tea room, there's no shortage of ways to indulge! One of the restaurant's special features is that (hearty) brunches can be enjoyed throughout the week, as well as at weekends.

A bar by day, a top-notch club by night: that's the idea behind Liebe ("Love" in German), the brainchild of three friends with a passion for Berlin parties, who set out to reproduce the atmosphere of the other side of the Rhine. And they succeeded: people come here for lunch or drinks in the afternoon. In the evening, the venue's two levels come alive with cutting-edge, yet not elitist, sets. Everyone is welcome here - provided they're well behaved - and the festive atmosphere has made it a much sought-after spot just a few months after opening.

A wine cellar unlike any other, tucked away in a psychedelic setting in Nice's trendy Port district. We're seduced by the vintage wallpaper, the seventies armchairs and the eccentric atmosphere that the young owners, Fanny and Louis, have breathed into their bar.

Enjoy them on the spot, accompanied by delicious Auvergne charcuterie and cheeses, or vegetarian tapas.

It is in the heart of the Latin Quarter, in the very touristy and typical rue Mouffetard, that the original Dose house is not to be missed.

The site is constantly developing, so keep an eye on it!

Just over a year into its existence, Carbone, the resident club in the basement of the Château Landon barracks, has come to an end. Too sharp? Not open enough?

Gone is the techno, gone is the disco, gone is the industrial decor, gone is the disco ball.
