Fun and entertainment France

A small bar not to be missed where, comfortably seated in the middle of a vintage, cosy and refined decoration, you will enjoy a good glass of wine, a cocktail or if you prefer, a soft drink or even a tea (very nice selection on the menu). If you feel hungry, you can enjoy the beautiful plates offered, to share: cheese and charcuterie boards, seafood, delicate verrines or even artisanal fish rillettes. Games are available to relax, as well as newspapers and magazines.

L'Astronome is the city's very first rooftop restaurant. The place is superb, all glass and wood, with sober lines, trendy fittings and chic, understated furnishings. For an evening, you'd think you were in one of the hottest spots in a European capital! The wine list is short, uncluttered, well thought-out and qualitative. You can easily nibble before a show, with a few tasty planks. The ambience rises to a crescendo with a carefully thought-out sound system. Outside, you can admire the Tour de l'Europe and the Temple Saint-Étienne.

Karoline is the happy manager of this atypical café-boutique a few hundred meters from Pirmil. Here you can slump into the leather sofas to enjoy a delicious grape juice, leaving the children around the coloring table. You can also visit the store to find a painting for your home decoration, a piece of clothing, a designer jewel, but also vinyl CDs, for nice gift ideas. You can also sit down together around the long wooden table to play a game of board games while listening to good music. At lunchtime, the restaurant serves salads and gratins or the dish of the day, just like at home. At aperitif time, the beer and wine bar invites you to discover the local circuits with beautiful local references. You can also find the great Ti' bio rums and other nice drinks and snack breaks. Chipie has set up vegetable and fruit baskets that can be picked up on site (Friday afternoon and Saturday morning). You can also find here raw milk, eggs, yoghurt, fresh or matured cheeses, tea, coffee, chocolate, honey... The producers are all within 25 km! This is THE place for beautiful initiatives! From time to time, the terrace hosts concerts. Beautiful moments of sharing are to be expected in this new place of life. At Peste et Chipie, we let ourselves live.

Housed in a large hangar on the Zone de la République, the Poitevin food court is on a roll, bringing together all ages and all publics: families, friends, colleagues. Under a garlanded sky, with its vintage decor, you can order a snack from one of the seven street food stands (burgers, tapas, wraps, crêpes... there's plenty to choose from!), pour yourself a beer from the giant 10-spout tapping machine, have fun, play games and dance. Every evening, a new event is proposed: sports, salsa classes, karaoke, dj sets... Republic Corner is the place to be!

On the ^34th floor of the Hyatt Etoile hotel, 140 meters above sea level and just a stone's throw from Porte Maillot, this bar offers a splendid view of Paris, day and night, thanks to its huge picture windows. You can admire the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, etc., while sipping a cocktail inspired by the city's most famous personalities. On weekdays, it's the perfect place for a chill-out session with friends, or even for more festive evenings.

The PDA is the kind of place that gives all its soul to the nightlife (and daytime) of Rennes. Named after the expression of connoisseurs, which refers to the volume of alcohol that evaporates when it is left to age in casks, it is the troquet in which one systematically feels good. In his offbeat, arty but not consensual universe, his character so typical that one never gets tired of it. The music is always in good taste, never too loud, between jazz and rock, depending on the time of day. We know him through a plural vision because he makes tea room, bistro at lunchtime, and wine bar at night. Everything is of great quality, and there are even biodynamic and natural wines! The owner of the house, Orane, is not the type to deal with low-level products, and knows at her fingertips what she serves and often has anecdotes to tell about it. The welcome is apple-packed and that's what we love about it: this strong character, this comical humour that tends towards the potache, this love of art and literature, this unequalled vision of the world and this unequalled openness of mind that allows us to have endless discussions about everything at any time and to learn more at the counter than in a library... Because the place is punctuated by ancient and artistic books, sown in the corners, between the opera red velvet armchairs and the old cinema seats of the same colour. There is no denying a Belle époque influence, with contemporary design touches that match perfectly. A feminist den that gives pride of place to the LGBTQ community, it is typically the place where taboos do not go out the door! The library and exhibitions of works on the walls set the tone, unequivocally! It is a kaleidoscopic place with many faces whose coherence flows under the meaning once you are seated there. Essential and simply magical!

As soon as you enter, you love the all-wooden counter, which invites you to sit down and get lost in the reading of the draught beer choices displayed on a large slate board. As for the wall of bottles, it is the proof that here we know what we are talking about. Beware, nothing but the new and the exceptional. The selection is very precise and offers nectars brewed by the best producers in France. While beer is of course in the limelight, whisky lovers will not be outdone thanks, once again, to a careful selection of unique nectars.

A bar and even more than that! The Gob is definitely shifted. Determined to "unite geeks and geeks from all over the world", it is with a sense of humor that the team of this essential welcomes you every day for afternoons, or completely crazy evenings. And then, it's hard to get bored here: besides parties, quizzes, board games or videos, nothing is missing. The beverage menu also seems to have come straight from another planet: beers (the choice is just huge), cocktails, we don't know what to choose - note also that happy hour is a religion here. And then you can also find something to wedge your appetite, from terrines to sandwiches and sausages. In short, in a completely offbeat and ultra-warm atmosphere, Le Gob is well worth a trip, and even several!

Zeste is a nice address in Millau, a place to go in the city, where you can enjoy exquisite delicacies at any time of the day or have a lunch. In this tea room-pastry shop-small restaurant, Arielle, who trained at the famous Lenôtre, prepares everything herself: from the toast, pasta or full plates offered at lunchtime to the pastries, which some people consider the best in Millau! The millefeuille or the caramel tart are well worth the service that some people find a little long.

The Jardin du Thé, created by brothers Mathias and Gaël Le Gloan, is a delight to discover on this peaceful pedestrian street. A haven of peace in the heart of the city, where people love to come and recharge their batteries. A garden divided into two parts, each on a different side of the street, between boutique and tea room. With an adorable team, comfort in every season with delicious homemade iced teas in summer and a selection of over 300 teas and infusions served hot, accompanied by homemade pastries. Smiles and flavors to share.

Experience a convivial moment! There's something for everyone here, from the youngest (3 years old) to the most experienced. Some are here to have fun, others are real pros. Oncle Scott's bowling alley in Mondeville features 22 lanes, a bar, billiards and video games. There's something for everyone, not just strike fans. And if you really can't find what you're looking for on the games front, just walk through the swing doors and head for the country-western world.

All styles of music, propelled by local production companies, pass through the mythical Salle du Vauban, which is over 50 years old! While the hotel and bar-brasserie overlooking it have undergone successive renovations, the concert hall has remained the same since 1962, with its retro mosaics and old posters of stars... But make no mistake, it's a lively place! An estimated 150 concerts are held here every year! In fact, the hall and bar have played host to a host of music and film stars. Don't hesitate to treat yourself to a concert in this intimate venue! You can consult the Le Vauban program directly on the website.

The challenge for many concert halls is to offer quality programming and to maintain a link between the artist and the audience during performances. Le Fil has met this challenge with flying colours! For several years now, singers and groups of many styles have come to make its walls vibrate. Rap, electro, French variety, rock'n roll, metal, reggae... The least we can say is that Le Fil practises eclecticism. With a capacity of 1,200 spectators in the main hall and 300 in the club area, the size is ideal and even hosts festivals. Friendly atmosphere and affordable rates, the perfect combo for memorable evenings!

We can never thank Vincent Salvat, the former owner of T'es Rock Coco, enough for having had the idea to open in 2015 this magnificent guinguette which was cruelly missing on the banks of the Maine! From April to September, this large bar all in wood and its beautiful terrace offer not only a magnificent view of the left bank of the city but also everything you can dream of in the beautiful days in such a place: a restaurant part at lunchtime (new since summer 2017), based on fresh and local products, snacking in the evening (tapas, homemade fries, plates of cold cuts or cheese...), there is also a vegetarian formula. The most, the numerous events going from concerts, to electro parties and even dances! There is something for all tastes and all ages. This establishment has become a must in Angers as soon as the first rays of sunshine arrive. If you are looking for a heterogeneous place where the atmosphere is bucolic, you are at the right place. Note that on the bar side, each glass is consigned, in order to make everyone responsible. By the way, what do we drink at the Heron? Fruit juices, sodas, but also excellent organic and (or) local wines as well as Belgian, Breton, German beers... Finally, on Sundays, what could be better for the party-goers of the day before than a brunch formula until 3pm!

The new HQ managed by the oldest French brewery still in operation has opened its doors. Meteor is more than a brewery, a bar, it's a place of brewing discovery where everyone meets and where something is always happening! Ideally located in the heart of Strasbourg, you can have breakfast early in the morning, discover Alsatian cuisine revisited continuously and taste the full range of Meteor beers with some exclusive brews! You will be able to learn about the brewing business. This 1,200 m² space is ideal for all types of parties and for getting together with a large group of friends. In the summer, two terraces will delight you. Passage obligatory.

On the detour of the historic streets of Bourges, take the time to take a break in a very unusual place. Hidden to the secular eye, in the small alleyway that runs along the ramparts, at the top of Bourbonnoux Street, Cak-T is a tea room set up in an enchanting setting, a magnificent arched room (old hall of the twelfth century of warheads), clinging to the Gallo-romo rampart ain't. Here, in the darkness of this unusual place and a little out of time, let yourself take the time of a cake and tea. Created by Evelyne in 1994, the place has since been taken over by his daughter Aude. On shelves, the famous Monin de Bourges syrups and white porcelain spice pots dress the open kitchen. Even if you are not hungry, you will find it hard to resist the temptation of exclusively home-made pastries, whose recipes come from family know-how. Special mention for lemon pie, an unavoidable one! The famous teas Mariage Frères are offered with over 17 different flavors. The teapots are original and the coffee is served in an individual Cona. On each table you will find small games, puzzles, charades and guessing, as well as small books. If it is beautiful, enjoy the sun terrace at the foot of the rampart opposite a small garden, sheltered from eyes, cars, and modern times. A delicious address with unusual charm.

The 2022/2023 season brought change to the ONPL, as it welcomed Sascha Goetzel as Music Director for the next 4 seasons. In 2023, he embarks on his second year with an attractive program and a new Europe Music Edition. A season of 32 programs. The ONPL choir will be in the spotlight, performing requiems by Mozart and Verdi. The choir will also be on hand for Heritage Days. There's also the opening concert with Franco-Serbian violinist Nemanja Radulovic, the Romantics with pianist Marie-Ange Nguci, Mozart's Requiem revisited by Pierre-Henri Dutron... and so much more to discover! Not forgetting film-concerts and family concerts(La cuisine de la cheffe, Le Tour du Monde en 80 jours, etc.). During the lunch break, you can also take advantage of our fantastic Pauses-concert series, featuring 45 minutes of music performed by a small group of musicians. Everyone will be able to vibrate to the sound of the music told by this talented orchestra, whose main mission is to create emotions. The promise of great moments in the company of the ONPL!

A new bar with an innovative concept in the Nièvre, and which animates with happiness the commercial part of the street of the 13th line. Kevin Deridder (associated with Ivan Diligent), opened, after months of big works, this nice themed bar, between street art and vegetal. Animated by a splendid fresco executed by Keusty, the walls are also adorned with the floral compositions of Emmanuelle Fabre, florist in Nevers. Comfortable armchairs welcome you for a cocktail party with friends, but also a drink during the day! Let's meet ?

Here's a place like no other that's a must-see. This jazz bar in the old town attracts fans of this musical genre in search of good values and local artists. Live concerts are held daily. The program is varied. The lighting and proximity of the audience to the stage add to the ambience, while bistro chairs and round tables adorn the different areas. Whether you're having a drink at the bar or on the mezzanine overlooking the stage, this is THE place to relax while listening to jazz. A huge favorite.

Already revolutionary in Marseille with its underground cocktail bar concept, the Carry Nation collective has this time taken over the trees of Aubagne and more particularly the park of a castle, thus proposing to taste cocktails a few meters above the ground. The cocktails based on fresh fruits and herbs are in the spotlight with many creations. The plants used are grown on site. Unusual for sure. Nice eco-citizen approach. Reservations are required as the number of entries is limited.

The island of Ré is already a travel destination in its own right. But for even more thrills, head for the Ré Glisse bar! The location is particularly pleasant: the long beach at Rivedoux. It's a great opportunity to meet up with friends near the wooden hut, in comfortable seats, for a lunch break with your feet in the sand: croque-monsieur, tart of the day, salad, bagel... in a friendly atmosphere. In the afternoon, you can indulge in a water sports activity such as jet-skiing or paddle-boarding, and come back in the evening for an aperitif.

Laurent and Jade have teamed up to open this new wine bar, very clean, with a slightly industrial style, with its large exposed pipes, concrete wall and raw wood cuts. The slate wall gives the place a more authentic character, especially since coins are cleverly stuck there (apparently, a tradition on the banks of the Loire: a falling piece is an alert because the ground is too loose). Speaking of floors, take a look in the middle of the room: a transparent slab allows you to see the cellar. And there are bottles, from all over the world, except for rosé, which is often the unloved wine bar! Our two bosses are fine connoisseurs, do not hesitate, therefore, to let themselves be advised, they master grape varieties and appellations at their fingertips.

Recently opened, this bright little coffee shop is a wonderful discovery. All day long, you can indulge in cakes, pastries and other gourmet pastries, such as the bacon roll with maple syrup. The drinks menu is a real eye-catcher, with delicious coffees and lattes, and especially a colorful Ice Tea Magic! On the savoury side, a number of world-influenced dishes are perfectly executed: subtly spiced shakshouka, creamy eggs Benedict, seasonal tartine on organic sourdough bread... Already our new favorite kitchen!

"Les montreurs d'images", an association under the law of 1901, have been installed since 2013 in the magnificent premises of the Studio Ferry, Place du Pin. The Art & Essai cinema program is magnified in this beautiful setting, former premises of the Jules-Ferry school. It is a magnificent cultural place, modern where stone and iron are combined. The studio offers a magnificent bar that takes advantage of the architecture of the place. In summer, it extends over what remains of the old schoolyard. Numerous events: exhibitions, thematic evenings, conferences. Screenings for the little ones.

Managed by Hugo, La Rafale, a charming bar located on a small square in the upper town, is a fine example of what a place like this should be: a lively place where there's always something going on, and where you're greeted with a smile. In addition to the delicious house-arranged rums, there's also a beer cellar (open Wednesday to Sunday), inviting you to discover dozens of red, white and blond beers! You can also attend matches or beautiful exhibitions.

The Opera Theater reopened in September 2013, brand new, after seven years of renovation. Designed parjean Teillard at the end of the nineteenth century, this beautiful Italian theater can accommodate 600 spectators, the red and gold room operates on three levels of balconies. It offers performances of the Lyric Center, the Auvergne Orchestra, the Orchestra of Harmony, the Festival des Festivals… The Auvergne Orchestra has settled on the floors… The programming is structured between great classics and novelties: operas and ballets, concerts, plays and shows. The Opera Theater also hosts events for younger people or theme balls.

With Cavoua, healthy cuisine and relaxation are at your fingertips. This charming place designed by Vincent and Mathieu offers delicious coffees, teas and detox juices as well as sweets for all meals of the day. Here, the decoration, a subtle mix of industrial and Scandinavian style, leads to quietness. The brunches are irresistible but so are the home-made dishes. The service is impeccable, the welcome warm and the products in season. The mascot Oréo, a boston terrier, is adorable and symbolizes the sweetness of life.

Several meetings are organised from May to September on the Courses-Romagné racing field, not far from the industrial zone of Saint Florent. Appointments to which the president of the Racing Company, Michel Moulin, and his team have restored their letters of nobility. So much so that meetings have become real family outings. Chevronnés and chevronnés are pressent in the race. For gallop and piercing. Furthermore, we thought of the comfort of the spectators with a pleasant and shaded main forum. In the race society we also thought about children. They are even mollycoddled on race Sundays. So we're going to gallop!

It's tea time in Montmorillon, and we're off to La Terrasse. In this cocooning place, Kim Stupple will satisfy your cravings for tea and English delicacies (carrot cake, scone...). We assure you, everything here is homemade! On this side of the bridge, there's a distinctly British accent in the air. The decor of the dining room is in keeping with the theme, very... green and flowery - lovely -, but what really appealed to us was the famous terrace overlooking the bridge over the Gartempe and the medieval town. And with that, how about a cup of tea ?

Initiated by the Scène Nationale de Brest team, Le Quartz's artistic activities have confirmed its reputation as a cultural hub for the region, propelling it into the top tier of national stages in France (outside Paris). Located right in the heart of the city, this major arts venue covers an area of 20,000 m² and houses two theaters, one of which seats 1,500, a 400 m² exhibition gallery, and function rooms seating up to 350. Le Quartz's programming is eclectic and multicultural: theatrical performances rub shoulders with dance and circus shows. There are also classical, jazz and world music concerts, as well as major exhibitions. Le Quartz welcomes virtuosos and renowned talents. Please note: Le Quartz has been temporarily closed since the end of 2021 for renovations. The reopening is scheduled for early 2024. In the meantime, its programming is nomadic. Find out more on our website!

Here is a pub as we like them: good music, good atmosphere, hyper original decoration and good drink. The products are essentially Breton and local. This tavern breathes good Brittany and its know-how! So don't be surprised if you see "Breizhitos" instead of the classic mojitos, or a local craft beer. Upstairs, a dart board and a pool table allow you to spend a good evening. The pub is also filled with board games, as here you can sit around the fireplace, enjoy and drink.

It was Marie de Medici who laid the first stone of this architectural treasure in 1615. At the end of the 19th century, it was saved from destruction and classified as a historical monument. Bombed in 1942, its restoration took several decades, and the first work on an auditorium will begin in 2014. Today under the responsibility of the Rouen Opera, the venue offers a very beautiful and eclectic artistic program of songs, recitals, chamber and symphonic music concerts, world music...

Le Grand Café Malarte invites you to discover its refined atmosphere. Inside, the stonework on the wall behind the bar adds a sharp edge to the modernity of the place. Another Arles institution, it has the class and flavor of the great brasseries. Burger, filet de boeuf Rossini, sea bream, risotto or chicken wok, everything is delicious. The pizzas are just as tasty and varied. Malarte can be enjoyed at any time of day, all year round. Don't miss the Saturday morning aperitif in the heart of the market. Mythical!

It's the ideal place for a quiet break! With its wicker furniture, plants and half-timbered facades, the courtyard is charming. In summer, you can enjoy a cool iced tea or, at lunchtime, simple, tasty cuisine, including salads, omelettes and savory tarts. The cosy interior is an extension of this haven of peace where, in winter, a cup of homemade hot chocolate or a delicious tea will accompany your slice of cake made in the kitchen... And keep an eye out for the occasional feline lurking at your feet!

The philharmonic orchestra's programming is multi-faceted and open to all: chamber music, symphonic concerts, film-concert for young audiences, operas and even various workshops! Winner of the Victoires de la Musique and numerous other awards, the Orchestre philharmonique de Strasbourg is also the oldest philharmonic orchestra in France. Young conductor prodigy Aziz Shokhakimov took over the musical and artistic direction of the orchestra in September 2021, for a high-flying program, alongside the greatest soloists of our time.

Guinguette-restaurant very popular with the young Parisians in the wind. To get in at night (the afternoons are quieter), you have to be patient or arrive well in advance before the aperitif. It must be said that the setting is worth it: what a pleasure to have a drink in the heart of the Buttes Chaumont, in a relaxed atmosphere. The place is necessarily more pleasant in nice days and rather at the time of the aperitif. Nice snacks are proposed to accompany the drinks. The prices are neither less nor more expensive than elsewhere. A good time guaranteed! Note: Rosa also has its own choir, "The Sound of Music"...

Les Gâteuses is the story of two long-time friends who share a dream: to open a business together. And to our delight, it's a tearoom offering some of the best cakes in Brest. The tea and coffee are excellent, but that's not all: at lunchtime, Margaux and Marie prepare a choice of two delicious dishes, one of which is vegetarian. In a cosy atmosphere, everything has been thought of to ensure that you have a lovely moment of indulgence and relaxation. Welcomed by the smiles of our friendly hosts, there's something for everyone!

The Message is part of this little neighborhood, a little bobo but so pleasant. It's a great place for concerts, but also for a quiet afternoon coffee or an evening drink, either inside or casually seated on a street-side bench. In the tradition of Oiseaux de Passage, Mademoiselle and Le Chat de Gouttière, it's one of those contemporary places with a very personal energy. It's not just a record shop, it's also a bookshop with some great references, turntables and accessories, a bar and a few appetizers to keep you going and give you a good reason to stay. The owner is always ready to advise you, and has a highly specialized musical culture. The pop decor keeps things young and dynamic.

The café-concert Le Tempo is well known to Guémené residents. Since 2021, Nico and Émilie have been the happy owners. Part games bar, part concert venue, part meeting place, this bar is an authentic living space with a gentle family atmosphere. Upstairs is a veritable Ali Baba's cave, where any board game enthusiast will find something to his or her liking! It's also a coworking space. Saturday evenings are devoted to concerts at reasonable prices. Tempo is the place to be in this small village.

A little bit of Corsica on the side, good wines in the glasses, here is an address that we like! On the Place Châteauneuf, this bar owned by the Ettori family will suit wine lovers, but also beer and cocktail lovers. The bar unfolds all in length, under the tufa stone which gives it its charm. In this cosy cocoon, the welcome is warm and the service at the top for a convivial or festive moment. One comes there sometimes for events (DJ set for example), but especially to discover beautiful things to taste, with a splendid sight on the terrace on the Charlemagne Tower and the place Châteauneuf, pedestrian since five years, for the biggest pleasure of the customers.

Located between the Lecoq garden and the Place de Jaude, this Irish pub offers a wide range of beers, rums, whiskies and cocktails to enjoy with friends. It is a place of meeting and cultural exchange, since French and foreign students like to meet there. It is frequent to hear several languages spoken. The waiters are very professional. A room upstairs can be privatized for events. On ASM match days, the atmosphere of this pub is supercharged. Theme nights and other concerts are also proposed.

Le Bidule is "The place to be in Pornichet"! Located in the street of bars and restaurants, the place is known well beyond the borders of the department. The Bidule combines a cellar and a bar impossible to circumvent. The atmosphere is ultra-convivial and animated. You can enjoy your glass of Banyuls and Muscat in a Pyrex glass standing in front of the barrels. This bar opened in 1947, and all generations still meet there. The place is particularly crowded on weekends. And an original idea to bring back to a meal with friends: consider buying a bottle at the bar!

This is undoubtedly one of the most charming tea rooms in the city, and the window alone is worth a visit. On the ground floor, there is a cosy room with a dapper Anglo-Saxon decor, while upstairs you will find a room with a large window overlooking the cathedral. In this real doll's house, you can enjoy sublime homemade cakes, some of which are gluten-free, with a tea, a fresh fruit juice or a delicious hot chocolate. For lunch, puff pastries, quiches, and salads are available.

One of France's finest arthouse cinemas! With 7 screens housed in two buildings facing each other on both sides of rue Jeanne-Moreau, the cinema's programming is extremely rich. We don't rely on blockbusters to fill up our audiences. Foreign films are shown in subtitled V.O., and previews with actors and filmmakers are numerous, as are retrospectives and thematic cycles ("Cult Plans", Spanish, Italian, German, English-language film weeks...).
