Café-concert France

Just in front of the National Archives, here is an original address since this mansion houses a superb room with exposed beams which is a tavern and concert hall. You can also eat a good French cuisine based on local products and the plates are well stocked. During the day the restaurant looks very chic, but in the evening the tavern welcomes night owls of all ages who come to listen to the groups who perform there, generally from 9pm. It's more like French song and the artists are quite talented. A good place to listen to music in an unexpected place and up to noon ...

You will have to climb the hill of Belleville, get lost in a maze of little frequented streets, but full of charm, and you will find this place so typical, whose name alone sums up the spirit. Here, songs, accordion, evenings dedicated to the kid Piaf, to the barrel organ with Riton the Crank, you will have understood it, one resuscitates a Paris of former days. To have a drink or enjoy a board to share, for a meal with good products, simple cuisine and desserts that hold the body, it is also an excellent place. If the ghosts of the artists of yesteryear hover here, it's no coincidence. You will have understood that this is an institution.

Visit the Tara Inn for great pleasures. This real Irish pub in the harbour, is an ideal address. Around a pint of Guinness, O'Hara, or Ermine, Tara invites at its Irish sessions evry first Friday of the month, at fest deiz every first Sunday of the month after 3pm and the fest noz every Monday from 9pm. Unless you can't visit unannounced during concerts! But every day, inside or on the terrace, a warm and friendly atmosphere is guaranteed, and complete change of scenery. Also note that Tara Inn offers a dish of the day at 8 € and some dishes at lunchtime during the week.

Rather than an interstellar journey, it's a journey in the time you propose Planet Mars, in the heart of the 1960 s. The place of the place is obviously dominated by red. There are no tables or chairs, but stools and bars to drink cocktails and bottled to the sound of the branchés DJ and soul. Among the clients are nice and cheerful rockers tendance, leather jackets and gomina. And yet, if you're not part of the band, you don't feel at all alien when you get on this planet. We feel immediately welcomed around the small bar in the round of this friendly and well-filled space, under the benevolent gaze of the regulars and toy robots of our childhood shelter in their plexiglas globes. In light of the other bars in the Bastille district.

Many barges border the quay of François Mauriac - but you notice a really original one. Between the small baths with ultra modern architecture and the Batofar, Dame de Canton is one of its king. This junk escorted from the China Sea by a passionate has become over the years a legendary stage of Paris. He owes it to his winner cocktail: concerts of young artists, exhibitions, performances and relaxed atmosphere. Young and crazy guests populate this ship which has only one Master on board: party. In summer, a terrace is installed on the quay, ideal for a cocktail while waiting to go on the deck where concerts are held.

The very carefully lit garden shows the owner's interest in the large American spaces. Photographs of the Colorado Plateau from distant journeys, cactus, boots and old stools make it dream that it's in the comfortable armchairs or bar that you will find the warrior's rest, well deserved late in the day. Anyway, everything is thought of in this sense, music: jazz, blues and rock of the s is at a perfect sound level so that friends'conversations are pleasant and home cocktails are served in large glasses that will delight the amateurs. Gypsy Jazz and Blues fan don't miss this intimate bar in the Saint Michel district. And this is not to mention the concerts that take place 3 times a week in the summer: Monday and Friday, Jam session Jazz from 22 pm, Wednesday, Open Blues Berry, acoustic blues beef. In winter, concert almost every evening with the Tuesday programme: a jam-session on Wednesday: acoustic blues and beef evening (opportunity to join musicians) on Thursday: Gypsy jazz concert on Friday: jazz or blues and finally Saturday: world music (flamenco, Brazilian and African music).

This small room is discreetly located under the Saint-Jacques viaduct. How does it work? A multifunctional space, focused on culture, music, creation and sharing. The space can be adapted to suit different uses. On one side, an area with wooden furniture adaptable to any event. On the other, a studio for artistic creation and concerts. The place is starting to make a name for itself among Clermont-Ferranders, both for the conferences and meetings that take place here, and for the artist residencies, concerts, screenings and private parties. The team is friendly and welcoming, and the approach is promising.

An old corner bar with unpromising decor near the canal: at first glance, that is what this institution of quai de Jemmapes looks like. But once you sit down at the table, you quickly forget the pine cone hanging from the ceiling and the statuettes of bucolic nymphs scattered throughout the bar. This is the kingdom of Adel, who run his small café with good humour and sympathy, a tradition that is lost in the other neighbourhood bars. If we come here, it is not so much for the contents of the glass or the plate (some Syrian specialities are proposed), but for the people with whom we taste them. Here, you will find a few merry regulars, some quite drunk students and idle artists. Every evening or almost, musicians give small concerts, without any fuss. The prices are reasonable, the evenings are always pleasant, especially in summer when the terrace is full of customers enjoying the beautiful days… and beautiful nights!

Café and restaurant upstairs, concert hall and concert hall downstairs: it's an understatement to say that this Pop-Up du Label knows how to do things right. While the kitchen is well smelled, in neighbourhood canteen mode, with seasonal dishes well smelled, it stirs hard underneath! And for good reason, the space, which is quite vast, offers an eclectic program, and many of the artists are still unknown, but are expected to break through soon. Lescop, Yaël Naïm, Juliette Armanet have been here, and we can only invite you to take a regular look at the programming. As a bonus, the Pop-Up gallery, which has just opened, with works by the team's favourite artists.

In one of the most beautiful areas of Metz, the Port Saint-Marcel is home to a unique venue: this intimate and comfortable theater hosts hilarious quality comedies all year long, performed by professional actors from all over France.

The plus : the place can be privatized. With a private access, the partner restaurant Chez la Marie, will welcome you before or after the shows to prolong the conviviality of the evening around a drink or a meal.

Want to get out of the beaten trails? Take the road for the Monts Mountains and spend a moment at the Petit Coudier. Created in 1968 by Christian Pénicaud, he was witness to a happy holiday where people from the local corner and artists were found! After years of closing, Nathanaëlle, Christian's daughter decided to live the scene. Accompanied by Luc, she invests in the project and the Petit Coudier association reviews the summer of 2009. The old barn renovated, lost in a green setting, welcomes you on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays evenings and Sundays afternoons depending on the programming. Located around a small iron table forged or on the ground on the cushions, you will let the charm act. The grill fire-grill, the alliance of wood and stone and nice light touches: everything here is warm, to the image of the young owners! In the summer you enjoy enjoying the softness of the garden in the hammock, under the candlelight. On Thursdays, dinners are held. On Fridays, the scene is open to amateurs and concerts are organised on Saturdays. Sunday is theme day (philosophy tasting, children's tales, etc.). You can eat homemade tapas plates, bruschettas and croques (in week) and eggs. Good selection of wines and beers. Upon reservation, you can rent the room for a wedding, birthday or other occasion.

The tumultuous history of this concert hall does not detract from the quality of its programming. It first opened as a ballroom in 1861, before becoming a pornographic cinema in 1901, under the name "Théâtre de la Comédie Mondaine". Presumably, it was its sultry reputation that kept it going. In fact, it was here that striptease was invented! The club's warm, relaxed atmosphere is ideal for rocking till dawn, and all for a reasonable price. Be warned, though, crowds are often high!

The Pub Gabariers is the perfect place to relax by the river on the pleasant terrace in this corner of the Charente, between small villages, walks and the river history of locks and the gabarre. The pub's DNA and reputation is its atmosphere. On Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons, the pub hosts concerts, with a varied program on the indoor or outdoor stage. The Pub also offers a catering service for lunch and dinner. People come here to enjoy the place, the atmosphere and the cocktails.

It's in a small, not very well-known corner of the 20th century that you will discover Lou Pascalou, "Le petit Pascal" in Basque. This cultural café programs rock concerts, songs or world music and meetings with writers. It also presents exhibitions of artists and projections of short films. Some evenings are also dedicated to board games or tournaments of the Paris Improvisation League (see the programme on the café's website). The place succeeds in combining culture, good atmosphere, discovery and sharing. The staff is charming, even during peak periods. A little extra: on sunny days, the large terrace is very much appreciated.

Located on the grand rue de Rivoli, you will have to open the eye to see the small entrance of this jazz club. Once the vestibule has passed, you can take place in one of the three pretty vaulted cellars for a musical aperitif. According to the programming you will enjoy classical concerts, jazz or bossa. On Mondays evening, jam-sessions are organised under the name "The Two Sauces". On Monday, at a. m., a sweet sour beef for amateurs, beginners or shy and at 20 p. m., a tangy sauce sustained by talented musicians. On Thursday evening, it is organic sauce in the programme (totally acoustic: no amplifier or microphone)! Finally, on Sunday at 17 a. m., you can discover old music concerts around a baroque tea.

This former village restaurant, which became a performance hall in 2008, remains the liveliest place in Beauvoir. Under the impulse of the Tournlesol association, two festivals are organized there twice a year: the summer Bello and the winter Bello. And a wide variety of live shows are presented: theater, dance, music... A rich and varied program, full of curiosities, with representations which are made according to the seasons and desires, in the cabaret room or on the village square.

In an atmosphere reminiscent of a New York alley with the long apparent red brick walls and the little mezzanine in metal reinforcement, a pub all that there are more Anglo-Saxon. Behind the long wooden bar, young British-style waiters are ready to prepare for cocktails whose home specialty is the Screaming Tourismegay, for an English audience always present in number. Large tiles everywhere display the numerous cocktails and snacks. At the bottom, the large two-piece cellar has its own bar and hosts Wednesday to Saturday Djs from all sides - rather good programming for a bar: électro, house, groove, rythm'n'blues… for holidays with London accents.
