Unity is strength, we keep saying. Proof of this is. Along rue Vibert in Le Puy-en-Velay, very close to Place du Breuil, four merchants have decided to join forces to create Les Vibérations in each summer season. Yann from the beer bar Le Black Pearl, Alexis from the restaurant Maki Nova, Vincent from the wine and tapas bar Camino des goulots and Younes from the restaurant Kebab Imma have come up with a project to liven up their street in good weather. This rue Vibert, which is normally crossed by cars, becomes a pedestrian street every Friday and Saturday evening, from June to September. Thus the terraces of the four merchants are expanding, but also and above all a space is reserved for local music groups. In 2018, 24 concert evenings were organized for the Vibrations. A great initiative therefore, each year rewarded by an ever-increasing number of visitors. In bars and restaurants, it is advisable to book your table.
