As for the multitude of teas that will surround you, it will certainly make you want to order a teapot as well as some homemade chocolates and pastries.

On certain Saturday evenings in summer, La Tour restaurant transforms itself into a convivial concert venue. Mathieu and Quentin Henoch's restaurant has a lot going for it. A vast terrace with a small stage on Place Henri IV, a bar set up in a large room that can double as a concert hall, complete with pool table, table soccer and pinball machine. The place smells of festivity and conviviality. Rock, jazz and blues evenings, themed around a particular dish. Home-made pizzas and burgers.

Overlooking the Loire, La Maison is an emblematic venue in Nevers, and above all the largest concert hall in the Nièvre region. Recently redesigned and renovated to fit in better with its surroundings, it welcomes all cultural and artistic movements. At the helm since 2016, Jean-Luc Revol is developing a particularly rich program open to all audiences. Music, dance, theater, circus and visual arts, the shows follow one another to the rhythm of an eclectic program. The Jean Montchougny gallery also hosts exhibitions.

Meltdown is a very original franchise bar that may seem strange to the less connected, since it is dedicated to e-sport: online competition on different media and different games. Of course, there are ultra-powerful computers, game consoles, high-end seats, last generation headphones... The top of the top for any good gamer. The Meltdown is also a bar that knows how to supply its players with fluorescent cocktails, beers and fruit juice! Competitions are regularly organized. It's your turn to play!

The Darcy Comédie is a Dijon-based café-theater, which opened in March 2019, right in the heart of the city. Dedicated to humor, this space is above all a place of cultural discoveries. The stage is filled with one-man shows, improvisational theater shows, comedies, but also emerging comedians. Indeed, we can find there with happiness the whole joyful band of the comedians' collective La Banane de Dijon. To make you spend an even more pleasant moment, the Darcy Comédie proposes you to eat or drink, at lunch or in the evening, while tasting planks of cold cuts and cheeses or homemade vegan plates. The ideal place to spend evenings at the top!

Located in downtown Besançon, the JOA de Besançon Casino is a year-round event venue. The restaurant offers a trendy, cosy setting and cuisine that combines simplicity and modernity.

Every Friday, the nights are set alight with concerts of all kinds, attracting an audience that is no less varied. A cultural and popular must in this region.

For six years now, this friendly bar-restaurant (aptly named!) has been the perfect place to stop off in the heart of downtown Nevers, just opposite the covered market. Here, at lunchtime and in the evening, you can dine on traditional, quality cuisine, or simply relax and enjoy a drink on the pleasant terrace, where the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. We also love the regular concert and theater evenings that liven up the neighborhood. We really like it!

It is a pretty cocoon with a chic decoration in grey and parma, at 44 Grand-Rue, which welcomes lovers of homemade teas and pastries. We sit down at any time for a hot drink, but regulars know that here we can also enjoy a homemade soup at first frost or a pretty bowl of ice cream with the most surprising flavours on the hottest shelves. From Monday to Friday, homemade waffles with chocolate sugar or even whipped cream delight adults and children alike. We like the small terrace, the soft atmosphere and the smile of Myriam Chapey, the very pleasant owner of the place. Finally we can also leave with our tea pack also available on the menu. A very nice address.

Rediscover the pleasure of a real escape game that, at Arcanium, takes the form of a time machine set up by Professor Kairos. Will you be able to solve the great riddles of history? From 3 to 5 people per room and per team, you travel to the past, present or future. Among the investigations: The Witch Hunt, Space Mission or The Knights of the Golden Fleece. In 2022, they have once again released their special horror escape game called The Sect, forbidden to children under 16. Chills guaranteed.

Moto Virade 39 is a non-profit association created in 2015 by a group of biker friends who wanted to combine the pleasure of motorcycle rides with the fight against cystic fibrosis. The association introduces participants to the back roads and magnificent landscapes of the Jura and Doubs regions, in ever-increasing numbers. In September, you can take part in or be a spectator at the Virade de l'espoir, an event that unites over 700 motorcyclists around the same cause - cystic fibrosis - and a shared passion - motorcycling.

Theatre is improvising at ARTI, so let's leave timidité in the closet and start yourself in the arena. A nice practice, good child, that will allow you to develop your relationship with others, your imagination and your trust in you. Words such as weapons, humour for shield, take part in improvisation games, friendly confrontations between two teams, managed by a coach, who improvise on themes drawn out and invented by the arbitrator. You will only have 20 seconds to think, before you start, with your team, on the playground and build a story, sometimes comic, sometimes dramatic or poetic… The public is invited to participate actively in this show, since each spectator has a multi-dimensional voting card which allows him to designate the team that seems to deserve the point at the end of each improvisation. A chausson, distributed at the entrance, allows him to express his dissatisfaction with the players or the referee, a master of ceremonies to prescribe the show. All on a background of music in a passionate atmosphere.

All new and beautiful, the Au Bureau pub-brewery has opened its doors jointly with those of the Mégarama, and for good reason: it is located on the esplanade of the cinema complex and it is a godsend.

They will appreciate the proximity of the venue, allowing them to have a drink before or after a movie session without having to move their vehicle, as well as the atmosphere of the place. Leather armchairs, subdued lights, large dining room or more intimate corners, the 250 ^m2 space can accommodate up to 150 place settings. We will appreciate the wide range of time available to really find a solution for all tastes, desires and genres, for a one-to-one drink, as well as for an afterwork around an aperitif board, or a broadcast evening of a sporting event. A simple brasserie menu will complete this beautiful offer, as will the concert atmospheres or theme evenings organised from time to time...

If you are looking for a place full of life and animation to settle down in the heart of downtown, look no further: go to O Divin. A very nice wine bar and very popular with the Sénonais. Numerous animations are proposed there all year long, like jazz or karaoke evenings, but also Barbecue Party, Beaujolais nouveau or Saint Patrick's day, for example. We really like the warm atmosphere, and the small food proposed. Without forgetting the good choice of cocktails. You will have understood, we recommend it to you!
