Fun and entertainment France

What could be more pleasant in fine weather than to have a drink and/or a bite to eat on the banks of the Sarthe, just a stone's throw from the town center? At the guinguette, you can relax on deckchairs and lounge by the water, while enjoying live music and concerts from time to time. Large, convivial tables are also at your disposal, so you can catch up with friends or make new ones in a friendly, multi-generational atmosphere. What's on the menu? A wide choice of local and non-alcoholic beers, as well as a menu of dishes and platters, vegetarian or otherwise, always local and prepared (literally) before your very eyes. Don't forget to book for groups.

Once through the door of the Tête Chercheuse, a whole new world opens up. The challenge? Teams of 2 to 6 players must solve riddles to regain their freedom and escape a terrible fate. In the "Cro'Magnon" cave, a family room accessible to children aged 8 and over, you'll have to find a way to see the light of day again... In "Le Testament", you'll be commissioned by the heirs of an eccentric old man, who have no faith in each other, to seek out the last wishes of their grandfather. Good luck!

This lounge bar is well known to the night owls of Saint-Malo and to those who want to get closer to the maritime life of the city. It is adjacent to the Société Nautique de la Baie de Saint-Malo and is the vibrant heart of the return of sailors from Saint-Malo and elsewhere! You will enjoy an aperitif with friends on the terrace, a lunch in the sun or even a tapas dinner to share in a lounge with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Many events are organized: concerts and DJ sets. It is a place not to be missed to enjoy the Malouine life!

We have a real crush on this well-named "Terrasse du Marché" which is nestled in the heart of the Colmar covered market, because its very nice terrace on stilts idyllically overlooks the calm waters of the Lauch in the heart of Little Venice. We sit down in this romantic place to enjoy a peaceful breakfast (without Stéphan Eicher unfortunately) and to taste small typical Alsatian dishes, including excellent flammekueche. All this can be accompanied by a good beer or excellent wines from the region.

It's the trendy bar in Sables-d'Olonne. In the heart of the fishing port, Le Bronx has a slightly "industrial" look, warmed by comfortable chesterfield sofas. In front of the façade, above which the name is illuminated in gold letters, there is a very nice terrace which is always full, whatever the weather. The Bronx is rather frequented by a clientele of thirty-somethings who appreciate the barman's mojitos and the atmosphere, so much so that in summer, the clientele invades the quay of the fishing port! The over 40s almost feel old.

La Goguette isn't just a café, it's an enchanted place where music and cuisine meet. In a bucolic setting, where musical notes soar from a welcoming stage, you can savor simple, seasonal, home-cooked cuisine, lovingly concocted by the team. The association that runs the place aims to make culture accessible to all. For a token €1, you can attend live concerts by talented artists, mostly French singers and composers. Open from May to mid-September, La Goguette is an invitation to relax and share.

This gaming complex houses several activities: bowling, laser games, billiards, video games, poker, in addition to a bar and restaurant area. The bowling alley is also open to children, with lights and slides specifically designed for this purpose. Another alternative is the laser game! Young people can book it to celebrate their birthday. There are several formulas, one of which includes a game of laser, plus a game of bowling with drinks and cake. A special feature of this game complex is poker, with the possibility of participating in tournaments every Thursday.

A pretty wooden building that fits well in the environment, with bays leaving the view free, and original terrace furniture. The terrace is an invitation to travel inspired by the bars of Ibiza, Saint-Barth and the Cyclades, while the room displays resolutely bistro furniture. A la carte, local oysters, to be followed by a yellow place and vegetable tagliatelle with curry sauce, coconut milk or burger with black Angus minced meat. Snacking menu at all hours.

With its terrace, the Coyote is the HQ for local bikers! But don't let your prejudices get the better of you, because in this bar, it doesn't matter who you are. Whether or not you're a fan of two-wheelers, flocked leather jackets or multiple tattoos, you'll always be made to feel welcome in this rustic venue where the music is loud. There are no longer any concerts or sports broadcasts, but the atmosphere remains excellent and so do the beers, even if they are (as always, and like everything else) to be consumed in moderation.

In a friendly, lively setting with contemporary decor, Le Bateleur offers a fine range of beverages: wines, cocktails, premium spirits and dozens of draught and bottled beers. On the food side, the menu is appetizing, with a fine choice of tapas to share, charcuterie and cheese platters, salads and burgers. There are also a number of regular events, including blind tests, dance evenings and concerts. A blend of cabinet of curiosities and English-style pub with vintage and bohemian touches.

Welcome to a fabulous leisure complex specifically designed to satisfy all age groups: bowling (16 lanes), two mazes of 1,200^m2 in total to flush out your opponents in laser game games, a Kids Park (1 to 12 years old), a billiard room and an arcade with about twenty video games. Good point: various formulas are proposed for the organization of a birthday party: one or two activities (bowling and/or laser game) of your choice, a drink and a good big birthday cake!

An escape game not just for adults! It features a room suitable for children (aged 9 and over) or beginners. Six missions, to be completed with family, friends or colleagues, or during an EVG/EVJF, calling on team spirit, listening skills and cooperation. Also a city survey. Sixty minutes... That's how long you have to find the clues, solve an original enigma and find your freedom! Become the heroes of the adventure, in superb settings.

This is an easily accessible place and ideal for an activity with family or friends. Before coming, go to the website to make a reservation. Just choose your scenario, the date and the number of players. When you arrive, you will be greeted with a smile before being immersed in one of the beautifully decorated game rooms. It's up to you to solve the riddles by searching the room for clues or by calling on the game master.

The pretty, colourful building, a former railway station, houses a delicatessen and tea room. We fell in love with this address with its charming decor and cosy atmosphere. The shop offers a wide range of teas, coffees, local products, spices, beers, wines, sweets, jams, honey, condiments, baskets, crockery, to give you a multitude of gift ideas. Take a gourmet break in this charming world, a tea room with a strong feminine touch, and try one of the pastries with a good tea from the wide selection

When this theatre was created in 1964, its mission was to host the Centre Dramatique National du Sud-Ouest. Quickly taken over by the Toulouse City Hall, it has known many adventures for several decades. Since 2016, the management has been in the hands of Sébastien Bournac, director of the Tabula Rasa company. Its programming is intended to be multidisciplinary, combining the great classics of the repertoire revisited and contemporary writings. In parallel, the Sorano supports the projects of artists in residence and associated companies. On stage, theatre of course, but also dance, singing or even circus. Great moments of emotion in perspective!

Constance, a passionate oenophile, will introduce you to one of the 80 wines on offer, exclusively from the winemakers! Tastings are often accompanied by small dishes to share, prepared by Laura and Charlotte, who joined the adventure in 2021 as partners. In addition to their desire to introduce you to exceptional estates by organizing wine-tasting workshops, they offer the same menu for lunch during the week.

Quintessence is well established in the Rue de Strasbourg gourmet scene. A late-night lounge bar with a wine list of local and international wines offering excellent value for money, as well as gourmet dishes that could inspire many a restaurant... With its cosy yet convivial atmosphere, comfortable armchairs, summer terrace, professional advice with a smile, affordable wines to match the dishes, a refreshing house Quintespritz and a range of spirits, rums and whiskies, La Quintessence is the place to be from afterwork to the end of the evening. Numerous events and wine courses.

We'll lay down the rules straightaway: you'll have just 60 minutes to meet the challenge! Logic, mutual aid and team spirit are the keys to getting out of this pirate's lair. The soul of the cave guides you through a superb setting, and you'll have to look for clues, solve riddles, poke around, poke around, unearth a lead... Cursed and banished for many years, you wander the seas in search of the famous pirate code. You'll have a great time, and your little grey cells will be hard at work solving the riddles.

So smart, so trendy and so green! Installed in the Passage Sainte-Catherine, Gabrielle Brun has created a thrift shop concept such as one can find in Paris. Between mottled objects and contemporary furniture, it is possible to enjoy a tea or a Chapuis coffee and delicious sweet and salty delicacies, while discovering second hand clothes and accessories to adapt your look to new desires at low cost. We particularly appreciate the warm welcome of the place and the charming covered terrace!

A friendly bar where you can let off steam after work, celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy the fresh air on the terrace with a local beer, cocktail or rhum arrangé, accompanied by a platter of charcuterie or cheese. It's the festive haunt of Bellil's youth and tourists in search of fun. A relaxed atmosphere, good humor guaranteed and numerous themed evenings organized throughout the season. Also on the program: billiards, concerts, quizzes... Let the party begin!

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.

More than just a delicious drink or a soft cake, it's something else that you'll find at AIGO CAFE: the advice we offer to accompany your sweets. Baristas are human resources professionals hidden behind a pretty apron, ready to accompany you in a personalized career diagnosis. Seven people are thus at your service, all coming from a consulting firm, they wanted to offer their skills to individuals. In the place, superbly decorated, there are 6 spaces for all needs, all privatizable, including a brainstorming room (where you can write on the walls) and a siesta room. So innovative!

As Magritte pointed out, this is not a beer (and neither is a bear...). But at Not a Beer, you can drink as much as you like! A fine address in the lively heart of Grenoble, it's both a late-hours boutique and a beer bar for zythologists and amateurs in search of fine discoveries. A hundred or so beers in the cellar, a dozen on draught, are regularly rotated to give us a taste of flavors from near and far. Beers kept in cute little fridges or in a growler, a device that lets you fill your bottle with a draught beer to take home. Not a beer, warmth, flavors and trendiness, even on Sunday nights.

Don't stop at the front, which looks like a makeshift shack. The address doesn't look like much, but enter this bar nestled in a real 1850's bourrine in its original state (typical habitat of the Vendée marshes), composed of a single room including the kitchen with its pretty stove and the bedroom with its narrow bed. A totally offbeat address, well known to the locals, where from the wooden terrace made by Loulou, accordion sounds, songs and laughter emanate... A popular ball atmosphere with concerts in season around a ham/potato or grilled sardines.

With its electro ambience, the W seduced us from A to Z. A trendy downtown bar, it's all about the lounge side of things, with techno and house on the menu... but also an impressive range of shooters, beers and cocktails. And let's not forget the house chupitos, which the bartenders never hesitate to make spectacular by setting on fire. Here, professionalism goes hand in hand with partying! Whether on the terrace or at the bar, the place is a great success, relying on various themed evenings to create an eclectic program that has won over a loyal clientele. Unclassifiable if not for its quality, this address knows no routine!

This small wine bar is a real favorite because of the quality-price ratio of the wines offered, the interior decoration where you can choose your own bottle and the outdoor tables that give it a friendly atmosphere. You just have to enter to be seduced by the warm welcome of smiling waiters who will give you all the advices to choose your wine. While sipping this precious beverage, you will taste a hot Mont d'Or, the inevitable planks of cold cuts but also tapas. Here is a place to discover to spend a beautiful evening.

In the charming village of Hermonville, in the heart of the Saint-Thierry massif, here's a wine bar that's sure to awaken your senses! On the menu are finely selected wines and champagnes from the best local winemakers, from the big houses to the more confidential producers, as well as a fine range of wines by the glass, which can be enjoyed in a convivial setting with a platter of charcuterie and Plancherie cheeses. A visit to the cellar and you'll leave with a good bottle to prolong the pleasure at home. Themed tasting evenings are regularly organized to discover local champagnes from small producers in the region, in the presence of the winemakers.

Reopened in 2023, Le Mustang is the only nightclub in the Issoire region. Every Saturday night, a DJ sets the mood and keeps you dancing all night long! Some evenings are themed, like ladies nights. Keep up to date with all the latest nightclub news on our Facebook page. The large terrace is a great place to get some fresh air between songs.

Want to let off some steam? Here, young and old (from age 3 upwards, depending on the activity) can discover paintball, whether in a duel or in a group (max 10 players), laser games indoors or in the forest, the Archery game - a mix between rubber-tipped archery and paintball - pedal go-karts, sumo wrestling, electric quad bikes, bubble soccer (a large transparent bubble in which you play soccer on a slippery pitch). Combat suits, helmets... Equipment is supplied and the "3 bandits" take care of the scenarios.

The small belt keeps reinventing itself! This time, the Flanders Bridge Station is renovated and hosts a 200 m ² jazz club, enjoying a terrace and gardens of almost 2,000 m ²! The place is poetic, the prices are very correct and the daily and high quality concerts. To give you an idea of space: The room can accommodate almost 300 people. An atypical place that will soon become the pertussis of Paris… Run it!

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.

CDNT, Tº, Théâtre Olympia... The National Dramatic Center of Tours has several names! But it is always at the same place, rue de Lucé, that we find each season a program where contemporary creations occupy a good place, under the direction of Jacques Vincey. About fifteen proposals are to be discovered each season, without forgetting the partnerships with other local theaters to welcome bigger productions. Since 2016, the WET festival has brought together young companies from all over France for three days, for an anthology of creations in several places in the agglomeration. And the smart idea: lunch or a snack at the Tº cafeteria.

Rain or shine, Kai-iwi is one of our favorite Grenoble destinations. A strange bird from New Zealand for a local bar with flavors from elsewhere. An open-minded attitude that takes us to a beautiful country in the company of Élise and Marshall. A pleasant terrace, a cosy space, a small lounge where the kitchen opens onto the dining room. Can you already smell the famous carrot cake? Coffee is accompanied by homemade treats, even for vegans and gluten-free eaters. Quality brunches and tasty snacks, fruit ice creams (vegan and gluten-free), market fruit crepes and veggie bowls. Small grocery corner.

The Cabasson tenist Simon has (at least) two passions in life: hold a welcoming place and the brocaners. He reached this double goal with his bar, le Cabasson, new place to discover the City of Sacres. A unique place, original, where one feels so well that one could easily believe in home. The place also looks like an enormous brocany, with characteristic armchairs and bibelots. You can also play games in society. Regaining a pleasure for her childhood while enjoying a good cool beer is a bit of paradise, right? Of course, we can drink and eat: Pies, cheeses, tartins, various planks… In Cabasson, everything is centered on the room, generosity and good mood! There are also a few instruments in the middle of the slab, which will allow music lovers to make a beef if envy is felt. Finally, concerts are organized fairly frequently, as are brownies. 

Here at Get Out, you have 4 adventures and each one is totally different from the others. One example is the Panic Room, whose plot takes place just after JFK's murder. Beautiful surprises and delicious moments of complicity and exchange between participants. It is also an opportunity to discover the qualities and defects of the different members of a group: who knows how to observe well, who is rather solitary, who knows how to analyse, who is almost useless for searching for clues... Get Out works well and innovates regularly. The team is passionate and, especially during theme evenings, really gets into the game by accurately embodying various characters. We strongly recommend participating in the Zombie evenings, which are great and scary as well as frightening, especially when going out into the dark corners of this industrial area just a stone's throw from the Carto. They have, for the moment, been published twice since the beginning of the 2016 school year. Get Out: we go in and we don't want to get out!

Both a tea room and a delicatessen, this establishment is run by Olivier Vandenberghe. Here, time seems to stand still, inviting you to take a gourmet break. The products are local, some made in the commune, such as the beer from Saint-Babel. Others, like the cookies from Atelier Auvergnat or the organic essential oils from Saint-Hilaire, are only a few kilometers away. Olivier will be happy to advise you. He'll also be happy to show you how to make wooden objects. To complete the local touch, the store accepts payment in doume!

For breakfast, lunch, dinner or an aperitif, Olatua boasts one of the finest views facing the Rocher de la Vierge and the ocean. Access is via the Jardins de l'Atalaye next to the Aquarium. Hot and cold drinks are available all day long, and the restaurant offers a bistronomic menu featuring fresh local produce. The rooftop, meanwhile, offers a menu of world cuisine revisited with local flavors, fish ceviches, beef tataki, vegetarian dishes, beef and pork ribs... An exceptional location.

An intimate bar with a subdued atmosphere and a little something extra, it's not very common in the conurbation. So welcome to the hushed world of Les Coursives de l'Auberge du Zoo. They've come back to life since Philippe Lebran and his team took over the reins of this centuries-old establishment. Comfortably seated in comfortable Chesterfields overlooking the Auberge du Zoo's great hall, you can enjoy delicious cocktails, 80 different rums or, for the more discerning, Mariage Frères teas and herbal teas.

Since 2015, Monéteau has been home to one of the liveliest performance venues in the Auxerre region. While the Théâtre d'Auxerre presents plays mainly by contemporary companies, and the Silex showcases world music, the Skenet'eau offers a year-round program of one-man shows, children's shows, dance performances and concerts. Featuring national stars and up-and-coming artists. Past performers include Florent Pagny, Calogero, Liane Foly, Cali and Eric-Emmanuel Schmidt.

An escape game and two addresses where the five rooms are located. Professor Brown is in danger, can you save him from himself? Another room, a change of scenery. Your car has broken down in the middle of the night in a sinister forest, and your phone is not receiving any signal. You head to a seemingly abandoned house... and find yourself trapped inside! For these rooms, you can customize the level. For thrill seekers, you'll choose "Help" in the second address.

In Toulouse, as elsewhere, escape game rooms are becoming increasingly popular! Each one shows a great creativity which allows the fans to vary the experiences in unexpected atmospheres: Scotland Yard investigation, zombie hunt, space station, vaporist adventure... The choice is vast! Many of these rooms have joined forces to offer a great tournament, the TEGT! With a team of three to five players, you play during the tournament period in at least four of the participating rooms, in any order you wish. The three teams who have successfully completed their rooms in the shortest time win the coconut (vouchers). It's your turn to play!

Cultural venues of this kind are precious in the region. Since spring 2017, La Moba, with a capacity of 350 people, has been run by a dozen music enthusiasts of all kinds. It offers rock concerts, rap or techno evenings, programming for all tastes, and even shows for young audiences during the week. Admission is often modest and, in fine weather, La Moba boasts a large patio for open-air dancing. In July, the Goud'Vibes street arts festival is organized by La Moba and the town of Goudargues.

The Ostwald Waterhole is a multicultural place! The programme of shows and concerts for all audiences is vast and particularly diverse: concerts, dances, but also plays are presented throughout the year. The cultural area has two halls: the 250-seat hall with a small stage, while the 580-seat hall is suitable for the big show - tickets can be bought online. Le Point d'eau also offers theatre workshops (for young people and adults), and dance classes for all ages.

Are you a music lover or simply curious? Come to Espace Malraux. You'll be able to discover artists who may not yet be well known, but who are undeniably talented. On the program: world music, gypsy jazz, poetic post-pop, rock and blues or Alsatian rock, vocal trio... The line-up is iconoclastic, with many local groups taking to the stage. You can have a drink and a bite to eat (snack bar). A popular event with locals and regulars alike. Program available on the Town Hall website.
