Fun and entertainment Midi-Pyrénées

Tet is "the place to be" for aficionados of the city's good food and trendy music scene. The speed of this success is due to two things: a dynamic team and a concept that combines the local café, the friendly little eatery and the eclectic music scene. On one of the city's most beautiful terraces (because it's vast, airy and located on the banks of the Têt), you can enjoy a hybrid cuisine, both local and fusion. There are numerous events throughout the year. Le Petit Futé came back delighted!

The Urban Club, though small, offers a great musical ambience, favoring programming far removed from commercial trends. Modern and metallic, it favors intimate encounters. Music videos are played on the walls, and the bartender offers specialties much appreciated by shooters. Right in the center of town, it has plenty of parking spaces. Fred, the owner, offers a warm welcome (and a strong character) to customers aged 18 to 70, and he's keen to mix the generations! An ideal place to dance in a lively atmosphere, despite the limited space.

At Mr.Madame, chic and originality intertwine like the initials of their golden logo against the blue backdrop of Toulouse nights. With its bright blue facade contrasting with the surrounding pink, its warm wood interior and its relaxed atmosphere, this is the setting for your intimate or festive evenings. You'll love the cocktails, with Raspberry Mojito and St-Germain Spritz at the top of the list, accompanied by original tapas (Savoyard croque, shrimp and octopus fritters with turmeric, gambas kadaïf...) or exceptional platters (generous assortments of cooked dishes with multiple flavors). All you have to do is make a reservation!

If the dry, gewürztraminer, viognier and other white grape varieties are not badly requested at the Halles Bar, the stall turned into a counter is not just a drink. The small coffee-growing cafés or snacks in the morning also accompany traders'discussions among themselves. At about 10 p. m. other clients start to arrive. The Bar des Halles welcomes both late risers, hikers or lovers of good love: Cold meats, cheeses, omelettes, often Taste Activists, are at the cutting. Oysters by six, when it's the season… The local people and branchitude like to see it before or after the races. Here, the issues of nîmois are rising and dismantle. A place, crowded on the weekend, which has been able to stay user friendly and participate in giving a real soul to the halls.

Happy birthday... Bapz! 20 years already that this honourable tea room with a so british air welcomes you in a friendly way for a break. Everything here is anafternoon tea-time experience. The flowery earthenware dishes, the parasols and umbrellas on the walls, the fabric-covered benches and, of course, the delicious scones and other delicacies on display. The English brunch, meaning a mixture of sweet and savoury, is served every day. At lunchtime, the dish of the day is presented in copious plates with a British spirit. Don't forget the bakery section, with hot breads from the oven for your home-made club sandwiches!

When you think of pastries, you automatically think of sugar. We salivate in anticipation of a creamy, praline-filled Paris-Brest, an all-chocolate tartelette or a very watery baba! But what would you say if we told you: pastry is salty! When you think about it, you can imagine anything, and that's exactly what Marie did. With a CAP in design and pastry, she makes savory Paris-Brest with goat's cheese mixed with blackberry, or Roquefort with pear, or a Saint-Honoré with smoked trout and wasabi. As Le Petit Futé has tasted, we can confirm: it's good, super good! This pretty green tea room is so welcoming that it's hard to leave.

Lily Germ is a meeting place for cultural exchange, with a warm and friendly atmosphere.

In the heart of the village, at the foot of a stone building, we discover this charming address with a warm atmosphere and a well cared decoration. Under the vaults, the welcome is friendly. One comes to settle down to share a bottle of wine on a high table, to shop at the wine merchant's to take advantage of this local business, but also to enjoy a convivial evening. We nibble on a plate of cold cuts, cheeses or a vegetarian option. We garnish a few slices of bread with spreads and we melt over a dessert in a glass.

The Agency. Blue sign and window display where some photos invite you to discover destinations that could make you dream. The journey has just begun. You push the back door and... Surprise!

Everyone agrees on one thing: La Paillotte is one of the most beautiful spots on the Etang de Leucate.
