Fun and entertainment France

An original concept, a bar-disquaire, a cultural venue where you can savour good local produce while listening to good music over a wide range of opening hours. A convivial place where you can come in search of a vinyl, meet new people, share a drink at the bar - with its fine selection of craft beers, whiskies, gins, rums and arranged rums - and attend a concert, jam session or other event on weekends. Depot-sale section for local artists who want to make a name for themselves. Cymbaline, the bar we love.

Close to the train station, this neighborhood address is a den for music lovers who don't take themselves seriously. When you enter the room, you discover a ceiling covered with panties and bras of all colors. At the back, a small stage hosts concerts of swing, rock, jazz, blues, reggae... Karaoke evenings are also proposed by the house as well as open stage sessions. One comes to work a little its dehanché in all relaxation with the regulars who give themselves appointment there for convivial moments.

Brest's first bubble tea bar, Nara takes its name from this Japanese town known for being home to over a thousand deer, which live there in total freedom.

As a bonus, you can try the fluffy pancake, a Japanese pastry as soft as a cloud!

Tango Swing et Bretelles, aka TSB, has enlivened Montcelli autumn for many years. In 2024, this musical festival changed its name (not yet revealed at the time of writing) and shortened its duration, condensing to three days, from September 26 to 28. It also concentrates on a single venue, the Embarcadère. What remains unchanged, a tradition too deeply rooted for Montcelliens, is the Foire aux grattons, which will celebrate this greasy culinary specialty on Saturday in the Place de l'Eglise.

The Black Lilith - as a cultural reminder, Lilith is a female demon from Jewish tradition expelled from Eden... - is undoubtedly the city's most central club. But more than a club, it's a place of artistic expression that aims to break the "codes" of the traditional nightclub by catering to all audiences and styles, from reggaeton dancers to US rappers. A place for night owls - and students - who want to party happily to the rhythm of big-sounding music. High-quality DJ sets and programming to follow on social networks. The ideal place to get your body moving and your sweat on.

An extraordinary place where you come to warm your soul. It's in a cocooning atmosphere that Agnès welcomes you amidst carefully selected new or second-hand literary nuggets. Around the fire in winter or on the terrace in summer, the pleasure is the same, in the sharing of a homemade delicacy or a drink, the hollow of a discussion, the soaring of a song. The stone walls are covered with photos by local artists who exhibit their work, and a bookmaking area adds to the magic of this bookshop, where it's good to chat aloud.

Toast, dine, share. The motto, inscribed on the walls and networks of the establishment, is scrupulously applied. To toast, choose from sparkling Italian wines, white Spanish wines, or vintages closer to home, such as Utopie, an organic Loire wine, or a few other finds to charm the palate. For dinner, let yourself be inspired by the Mediterranean: tomato salads, asparagus a la plancha, or Moroccan brochettes. To share, sit comfortably by the counter or on the small, quiet terrace.

Chez les Garçons is the brainchild of Paul, Corentin, Tom and Romain. Paul and his acolytes decorated the walls of this trendy bar in midnight blue....

For the most part, French and niche spirits. As for nibbles, there's a lovely trio of tapenades, a nice slice of truffled brie, pickles for aperitifs and charcuterie from the Basque region. As for sardines, you'll love the fish from La Perle des Dieux cannery in the Passage Pommeraye. A bar to visit in the afternoon or evening, for lovers or friends.

The Col de Porte, at an altitude of 1,326 m, is a wonderful place to discover.

We climb a little to reach the famous Quartier Haut, one of the most picturesque districts of the singular Island, which contains in one of its streets this charming address that we like to share.

We come to enjoy a concert, an animation or to see friends. One returns especially for the cordial environment which emanates from the place and the conviviality which reigns there.

L'Amer à Boire is a very pleasant, lively place. People come here at the end of the day to enjoy a good draught beer. Although there are many other drinks on the menu, it's the draught beers that are the most popular, as they're not only cheap at happy hour, but also delicious, and come in many varieties. The atmosphere is always pleasant, with a charmingly retro feel to the vinyl music, and you can prolong the moment by nibbling on a few nibbles. It's not great food, but it makes a lovely aperitif.
