Fun and entertainment France

If at 10 o'clock in the morning you would like to eat a pizza or, why not, a steak, this brasserie is probably the only Établissement institution able to meet your request. Until midnight, you can get out of the theatre or cinema and order a meal without any problems. Apart from this great flexibility of schedule and availability, the room offers a very large reception capacity: groups of 30 to 40 people, or even more, will find their place without problems (however, groups must consider booking). In summer, add a terrace with a capacity of about 150 places to give you an idea of the size of the establishment. On the car park, count on the immediate proximity of the Brèche Square. Finally, the game nights, this restaurant is the rendezvous of the fans with the giant screen on the floor. On those evenings, the establishment is complete and the atmosphere is… sporty!

Le Fou du Roy, which Roby has just created, offers you two possibilities to enjoy an ice cream or to eat tapas at the aperitif hour. You have the terrace which faces the port and from which you can see the whole of the Cape or, if you wish more intimacy, the inside of the Fou... There, in a lounge atmosphere, you will discover a combination of decorative styles that give the place a very original cachet. In front of the long bar, the sixteen sofas have been placed to form alcoves, which allows you to meet in small groups around a drink while enjoying visual or musical surprises.

This well known Nantais shop is a reference in the fields of pastry, ice cream, chocolate, roasting and also as a tea room. You can meet there for a good cup of coffee or tea, with delicious pastries. The success is now so well established that there are several Debotté shops in Nantes (tea room activity in the ones on rue Crébillon and rue de Budapest). You can find there high quality products; whether it is excellent chocolate rochers or macaroons that are no less, frangipani from another world, the Nantes cake where rum is not overused. In short, to try to list all the succulent products offered by this brand would be a challenge. The only thing that remains is that everyone will find something to their taste. Because here, whether it is pastries or sweets (caramel, négryllettes, berlingots...), everything is made with fine butter. It should be pointed out that anyone who would like to order a pièce montée would be at the right address. To conclude, let's not forget to mention that the exterior and interior of the shops are very well looked after and that the welcome is perfect. A house in which tradition is preserved with a quality artisanal production from father to son. Please note: at lunchtime, home-made hot dishes are served on rue Crébillon and rue de Budapest.

This night bar in the city centre is well known for the Nantais students and students. It has been recently renovated, but still hosts a lot of tone on Thursday, and the age of the regulars on Friday and Saturday turns around 18-25 years. Another club, the Etoile, was created on the floor for those over 25, more lounge and cosy! It is between the. street. You can also rent rooms for tone, birthday or other private evenings.

Located in the Rocabey district, a few minutes from the Sillon beach, Le Vauban remains the only cinema in the corsair city. It has five rooms accessible to disabled people. If the Vauban 1 (Rocabey) broadcasts the big productions and other general public films, on the other hand, the Vauban 2, located in the Grande Passerelle, is committed to offering an author's cinema and a more specialized program with notably some art house productions. The three theaters of Vauban 2 are part of the cultural center La Grande Passerelle.

A festive place par excellence, this cocktail bar/tapas and restaurant, located in front of the Boyardville harbor, has become " the place to be" in Boyardville. The barmaids will take pleasure in explaining the composition of their mixtures based on whisky, cognac or rum, some of which have evocative names. For the courageous who will have been able to resist the very rich card of cocktails, there remains "the Chantaco" (without alcohol). L'Echoppe is also a place where one comes to attend many concerts. Friendly atmosphere guaranteed because here the staff is smiling!

Agen has a multiplex cinema with 10 3D digital screens in the city center. The CGR cinema shows films that are released nationally.

You can eat here some tapas, and spend a good evening among friends. It is also possible to organize private student evenings here… Here the evenings join for your great pleasure!

In the heart of the pink city, the Théâtre de la Cité is Toulouse's national drama centre. This imposing building of bricks, glass and stone, built in the footsteps of the former Toulouse Conservatory, echoes loud and clear the voices of poets and playwrights. Since 2018, under the direction of director Galin Stoev, has been launching a programme for the widest possible audience. This is a long way from elitist theatre. A place of life and sharing opens up. Similarly, space is given to creation and co-production, to artists' residencies. The theatre is oriented towards the repertoire of tomorrow, poetry, circus and puppet arts, music or dance.

The cinema of the city consists of 5 rooms (accessible for disabled people) of 100, 200 and 400 seats, connected by a single technical cab equipped with a sound Dolby sound.

The Rancho, renamed La Petite Folie in March 2014, is almost transfigured. A central bar in the large room and a small private dining room, the establishment is always overlooked by large stone vaults making it an exceptional club. The clientele is young, between 25 and 35 years old, and the club organizes many special evenings. If you want a more comfortable atmosphere, the VIP square is available for reservation. Located on the edge of the Charente River and easily accessible from the centre, this is an unbeatable place for the Night of Angoulême.

Old Mix Bar and the newest gay bar in the capital, frequented by young people would surprise before the box exit. Music house and techno, a dark atmosphere and very little space to sit, but it is not in any case the kind of clientele that tends to trémousser under the blaffard lighting of the Enseigne sign which dominates the bar. The area is often crowded and overflowing on the mini in the street. A second shelter in the basement is still calmer. Young and trendy clientele. 

This trendy bar on Place de Chambre offers a breathtaking view of St. Stephen's Cathedral. Inside, it has a sleek, subdued feel, with large lamps and moldings on the wall. With two rooms, you can only see the first room when you enter. The second room is much quieter. The Opéra Café is very popular in the late evening, recommended after an outing to the restaurant or the Opéra, and is also appreciated for its terrace in summer. Classic in its presentation and beverage offering, it is nevertheless recognized as a trendy bar, notably for its music and the thirty-somethings who frequent it. If you're in the mood for dancing, there's a good chance that the bar area will quickly turn into a dance floor. Despite the rather cool and relaxed atmosphere, the patrons of this establishment often display a certain elegance. We recommend this bar when you're out with friends.

Rock lovers have their club in Clermont: the Bombshell club. Whether it's for the crazy atmosphere, the quality DJs or the rock'n' roll concerts live on a stage redone in 2017, there are many reasons to push the club's door. Club-concert rock, soul, hip-hop, the Bombshell's programming can be found on its Facebook page. It is very specialized, local groups, groups from all over France, but above all groups delighted to shake the temple of the Clermont-Ferrand garage. The regulars are not mistaken, faithful to the place. An underground place for happy and restless nights in Clermont-Ferrand, a must on the Auvergne rock scene in the city centre!

This café with character is sober and efficient. The city dwellers enjoy meeting there every day. Ideally located in the heart of the city, it offers two terraces: one covered and heated in winter and the second, surrounded by palm trees, on the edge of the town hall square. As soon as the first rays of sunshine appear, it is taken by storm. Close to the major festive events, in summer and winter, it is the place to be in Tarbes! Sports aficionados also gather there, around the huge screen where the matches are played.

The aptly named Bar des Sardines is located right on the port. It's a cozy, hushed establishment, with sofas and armchairs that invite you to relax. Here, it's bar service, and in marinière! Between 2 beers or cocktails, you can nibble on rillettes de la mer, platters of charcuterie and cheese or... sardines, of course! The bill can quickly become quite steep. But the atmosphere is just right! Concerts, DJ sets, tattoo evenings and stand-up comedy are all great invitations to party. Let's make the most of it!

Le Port has a unique setting in Montauban. Located on the canal, it includes a restaurant, a lounge bar and a beach. A DJ is present from Wednesday to Sunday evening to ensure the animation and sometimes some groups complete this festive atmosphere. Children accompanied by their parents are allowed in the establishment. An ideal place to sip a cocktail, to spend a convivial moment around tapas plates, to have lunch or dinner while tasting dishes based on fresh and regional products. A beautiful place far from the world, a real breathing space!

This bar-tobacco-press-brewery is rarely empty. Here you'll find newspapers, the Petit Futé guide to Lozère, craft beers and lemonades... And above all, good cheer! In summer, the terrace is sheltered and serves the hiker's snack: an Occitan burger with truffade, cantal and blue cheese, or a very local mixed grill (Aubrac beef sausage, Aubrac merguez, Aubrac sirloin steak, nuggets with barbecue sauce, fries and coleslaw), charcuterie and cheese platters...

This casino located in the heart of Juan-Les-Pins, not far from the sea, promises you beautiful evenings and wild nights. Several types of games are offered to you: 115 slot machines, including the Megapot which contributes simultaneously to the common jackpot of 42 establishments, video reels and video poker, 19 electronic roulettes and all the traditional games such as English roulette, Texas hold'em poker or blackjack.

The rue Jean-Jaurès is on its end and the green valleys are already visible. The pub terrace takes the midday sun: the coffee break goes hand in hand with sunshine. In the room you can find the freshness of traditional pubs, blue tones and wood. Counter all along, seven varieties of beer at pressure, about fifteen different whiskies. Brasserie service (salads, tender, mudflap, omelet…) every lunchtime except Saturdays.

Game of darts to test its power. Nearby discos flyers, posters announcing rugby games and concerts at the moment.

There were several entertainment establishments since 1817, on the site where the current room - seven hundred square places - was built in 1886. She was marked by the period during which Gaston Baty led her, from 1930 to 1943. He set up classics and opened his stage to productions such as the'Opera, by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill. In the following years, the Montparnasse theatre will allow many Anglo-Saxon authors to make themselves known in France: Peter Schaffer, Arnold Wesker, Noël Coward, Harold Pinter, Murray Schisgal… Myriam de Colombi has been leading the room since 1984. Among the shows she presented to us are: The Night Watchman, by Sacha Guitry, with Yasmina Reza and Fabrice Luchini, Le Secret, with Anny Duperey, Pierre Vaneck and Fabrice Luchini, Real Life, from Tom Stoppard, with Pierre Arditi, Evelyne Bouix, Catherine Rich, La Boutique au corner, from Ernst Lubitsch, with Florence Pernel, Samuel Labarthe, Jean-François Derec, Wojtek Psoniak… Le Petit Montparnasse - two hundred places - was created in 1979 in a former frame warehouse. It has created new talents. Trials have been carried out there, some of which have been successful.

Over eighty years ago, the first Russian cabaret in the capital moved to this address. He was named Novy and was a place where expatriates remembered their country with nostalgia. We have preserved something of the atmosphere of that time. During and after the meal, singers, dancers, musicians, acrobats, launchers of Russian and Gypsy knives distract guests in a gold and red decor. Zakouski, bortsch, caviar… The map offers Russian dishes, some of which have a western touch.

Closed since 2018, it reopened in September 2023: the Théâtre de la Ville, now known as the Théâtre de la Ville - Sarah Bernhardt, now boasts state-of-the-art cultural facilities. Inside, the theatre's seating capacity has been maintained at 950, and the same cream-coloured seats have been reinstalled as during the last major restructuring in 1968. The programming is intended to be "popular".

This beautiful address will particularly seduce the amateurs of good foams, understand craft beers from here and elsewhere. In a modern setting, with its industrial style decoration and its rooftop terrace, one likes to meet around the selections of the bar. If you feel a little hungry, you have the possibility to eat around proposals on boards to share. At the end of the week, the place comes alive in rock'n'roll mode, making the brick walls shake under the electric sounds of the guitars. An ideal setting to start the weekend.

A real treat! Les Docks is both a cosy wine cellar and a delightful tapas bar, where you can also grab a bite to eat at lunchtime. The place is small, friendly, original and a stone's throw from the beach. Romain, a globetrotter and former chef at some of the world's top hotels, notably in Polynesia, provides a colourful welcome. Feeling peckish after a swim? You'll love the tapas. Depending on what's available and the chef's mood! A recommended place for a drink, a sip of rhum arrangé, whose jars decorate the window, and a nibble with friends.

Yakapark is a haven of happiness for children between 1 and 12 years old. An open air-conditioned playground, it is divided into two play areas adapted to the ages, so that they can play in complete safety. The toddler area is a complete course allowing them to develop their motor skills. For the older children, there is an appointment in a revisited Amazonian jungle, full of colours and playful fantasies. From 8 and 10 years old, virtual reality games (in the Virtuel Center®) allow you to immerse yourself in fantasy worlds.

A favorite bar for fans of colorful cocktails, bachelor gangs and buddies, you can eat, drink and dance here. It's an all-in-one venue, with a vast room at the back that can accommodate large tables. It's also a must for all stag and hen parties. Last but not least, Salsa Café is one of the ideal places to confirm a meeting started on the Net. During the week, on Wednesdays, it's time to dance for two: we push the tables for kizomba bachata classes with a teacher who offers free initiations.

If the name doesn't inspire you, we'd like to add that to get in, you'd better wear a thick cardigan, a scarf, and a beanie. The Kube Hôtel is unique in that it houses a contemporary, conceptual, and atypical design bar. With a stunning decor combining light projections, frosted floors, blocks of ice, and attractive furniture, the Ice bar offers you the chance to taste cocktails based on Finlandia vodka, all at a temperature of -20°C. The venue also boasts a dancefloor and a cosy lounge area adjoining the ice bar!

After the success of Australian Coffee, Gaëtan and his wife Bronwyn had the good idea of taking over La Perdrix and changing its name. It's all about hops and malt. The establishment is brimming with original beers from all over the world, all tested before being put on the menu. A selection of spirits, rums and whiskies is also on offer. The ovens have been rekindled to offer dishes such as fish and chips. Evening concerts, matches and quizzes are held regularly. Service is provided at the bar. The basement bar is well worth a visit. Fifteen taffy machines spread over two counters!

The vegan restaurant Un piano dans la théière offers a unique culinary experience. Combining gastronomy, art and music, this establishment offers simple, authentic and elegant cuisine in which plants are king. Each plate is a real painting, carefully prepared by Chef Violaire. The chef's signature flowers add a touch of beauty to each dish. The restaurant also boasts a grand piano in the dining room, offering music lovers a pleasant musical ambience. For lovers of poetry, the restaurant also organizes a poetry competition on the theme of animals, with a tea time for two as the prize for the winner.

In place of the Great R, the Grand Théâtre de Provence opened the Teddy Bar, a cosy atmosphere of a pub, open the evenings of representation from 19 H and two new intermission bars - one in the lobby, one in the patio for smokers (and non smokers).

The old "éclaircie" (Claranda, previous name) gave place in 2022 to the young Cerf-Volant... We are always in the lightness and the contagious good mood in this high place of nature and culture taken over by a leading figure of the Toulouse musical environment: Pascal Cabéro. An open and joyful program with concerts, theater, lectures, theme evenings in a protected setting. Welcome, conviviality, local products and short circuits.

At the heart of the new town hall, at the foot of the tourist office, the Odyssey is well rooted in urban life. Now, the dining area meets the bar area. The interior architecture is modern, comfortable benches… Student youth into the finished courses for a break with a mint diabolo. Nevertheless, the glacier area and bar in the corner are aimed more at tourists. We will not always find the desired user friendliness. But consider that it was a day of fatigue.

Here's an opportunity to return to the magic of childhood in the heart of an enchanted forest. Enter at the end of a walnut tree-lined road that opens onto a hidden village where a rather surprising host baptizes you with his gigantic sword! The children are spellbound. The elders take over the Tourks village with pigs, kids and ponies. There's also storytelling in the Storyteller's House, a snack of Troll pâté in the Elvish Tavern, and a workshop to create an elf...

Inside, the counter takes pride of place in the middle of a room full of character, and we love the lounge area at the heart of a small, intimate stage with its leather club armchairs. It opens onto the terrace, which is another highlight of the place, as you're on boulevard des Pyrénées and the terrace faces you. A short fast-food menu offers you the chance to eat on the go! And if you've got a sweet tooth, waffles and crêpes are on the menu. The Café Russe is a real atmospheric bar, with a great range of drinks on offer, including an extensive whisky cellar, a well thought-out rum cellar and an impressive list of alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails.

This night bar is located in the former Saint-Michel prison. To get in, you'll need to be patient, as the place is very popular on weekends. Proper attire is required, and you'll be ready to discover the place in an atmosphere that's warm and relaxed, a meeting place for the young and not-so-young, who sway together on the small dance floor. For regulars of this thirty-year-old club, the decor remains baroque despite a few changes, with its varied sofas, its little nooks and crannies, its slightly recessed bar, its giant mirrors, statues and light effects... The formula hasn't changed, with house cocktails and hits from past and present: that's why we go here. You'll even find yourself singing along to the choruses of songs by Dalida, Gainsbourg and Brassens, not forgetting up-and-comers such as Bénabar and Cali, even if the bulk of the program is devoted to the timeless 80s. On weekdays, the atmosphere is quieter and more conducive to chatting with friends. For dancing and laughter.

It's in an old hangar where The Base team has set up shop. The owner is not at his first try: his other nightclub, the Light, is one of the most important places for Bordeaux parties. What's special about this new nightclub? An innovative concept with dance, acrobatics and fire-eating shows, which take place every Friday and Saturday from 2am to 5am. Showcases and theme evenings complete the offer. Attention, the club is very select: be prepared to wait at the entrance, without being sure to enter.

Every Wednesday, at and Sundays at a. m., a meeting UGC Kid is organised (2nd).

This is undoubtedly a place where it is good to spend a bucolic moment at the water's edge. La Guinguette de la Plage organizes many concert evenings, where all the music of the world meets and intermingles. La Guinguette also has a bar, a terrace and a restaurant, with a menu that makes your mouth water: you can eat very well, mostly organic, and as for the music, the cuisine is very cosmopolitan. A "guinguette" atmosphere in the pure style!

A few metres from the Nungesser stadium, Le Penalty is one of the places of rallying for all VAFC fans who come to the game around a good foam. 

If you want to set the track on fire with salsa or bachata tunes, it is at the end of rue Saint-Dominique that you must go. You will then find the Mojito Bar, lying on its terrace, a real headquarters for lovers and dancers of Latin music. In this cocktail bar, the festivities continue in after mode to welcome night owls from 5am to 10am on Sunday mornings. Theme evenings are regularly organized and with Mamour on the turntables, the atmosphere is guaranteed, joyful, you almost feel like a family. Aperitif dinner, group meal or birthday, the establishment takes care of everything at a reasonable price. On Tuesdays, kizomba classes from 8pm!

The terrace in the corner of this bar, situated on the edge of the promenade, is a relaxing stop to enjoy the sea view or the beach animation.

The Ambassadors are THE nightclub in Avignon. Located in the city centre, it offers a trendy setting to spend a good evening with friends... Large dance floor, alcoves, glitter... everything is there. At the entrance, the selection is strict but courteous. It is because the place has its followers and they appreciate the elegant relaxation of the place. Tourists are welcome: just forget the sandals! You'll have to fit into the mould because here you know the customers, you know what they like and that's what makes the success of the place.

The Gibson's Brothers, the Martinique trio that achieved a phenomenal success in many countries during the 1970s and 1980s, created this famous jazz club with eighty seats. Of this creation under Caribbean auspices remained the taste of Afro music, in the broad sense of the term. Jazz fusion style training is also offered. Some names of artists that marked more than two decades of hot music: Richard Bona, Angelique Kidjo, Monica Passos, Ultramarine, Les Étoiles, Sylvain Luc, Rido Bayonne, Étienne Mbappé, Mario Canonge, Nguyen Lê... And the adventure continues on the same rhythm. Take note: François Constantin the percussionist orchestrated the jam sessions on Monday.

Nevertheless, Baiser Salé is also a bar with terrace that is very appreciated for its generous happy hours. As it is located in a very busy street of the centre of the capital, you have to come earlier if you want to enjoy the terrace!

If the card remains fairly classic, the huge advantage of this bar lies in its 130-seat terrace located in the heart of Nantes, place du Bouffay. In the evening you can enjoy good wines, salami (pepper, serrano, wild boar…) or beer, including the amber from Bouffay in pressure. Managed by Alain, Christophe and Denis, Lulu has a warm and easy smile, and strong arguments to spend an evening in good company, just like its alter ego cinema of the Tonton flingueurs…

Who doesn't know the Ubu ? A club that has seen all generations on itsdance floor! Between the Capitole and Esquirol, the Saint-Rome street shelters in its cellars one of the favorite places of the Toulousans and... of the stars of passage. Incomparable, the place has been so for nearly sixty years and it has not aged a bit, especially since it has been given a major facelift recently. Here, the champagne flows freely, the thirty-something clientele is epicurean, the welcome is warm and the atmosphere excellent! Impossible to miss your Saturday night out! Besides, why wait, since the Club opens its doors on Tuesday... So, see you at the Ubu?
