Fun and entertainment Rhône-Alpes

In the pedestrian street, let yourself be charmed by this emblematic place that has stood the test of time since the Victorian Empire. If the walls could talk, they would evoke the lively exchanges between scholars, comedians and men of letters during Aix-les-Bains' spa heyday. The Café des Bains, founded in 1881, remains the town's oldest bistro. Come and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning, a light lunchtime meal with home fries and a dish of the day. And why not enjoy a gourmet snack, with a Valrhona chocolate cake concocted by the chef?

Marc and Maï invite you, in an atmosphere of conviviality and exchange, to discover the artists they program at first sight. A small bar, a room at the back, a little more spacious, a fireplace for winter, large bay windows that open onto a terrace and a garden for summer, teas, coffees... in short, everything to spend a cosy, light and joyful moment in this small corner of the countryside. The establishment also offers a tasting of Corsican beers. Singers, actors take over the space for an evening, an afternoon or more, because culture does not live only in the city. Do not hesitate to call to stay informed about the programming.

The Irish pub in Chambéry is here. Atmosphere, garden, bière beer, immediate boarding for Dublin! Wood, tons and high stools, darts of darts, come here among friends to relax, or to start its disco evening. Good music, good atmosphere, sometimes you grow dancing. The clientele is varied, many young people, but also all sports lovers, who come to watch the games a pint by hand. In the back, a quiet garden to drink a drink, chat or smoke more calmly. The big gosiers, if they are not filled at the time of closure, can leave with a barrel… up to 50 litres! Note that it is possible to privatize the pub for a particular event.

If the title refers to a television series on a funeral family, just go to this stéphanois pub, close to the university, to understand that you are proposing to literally drop six feet underground! A universe so to speak in the heart of the mine! The decor plunges you into the history of the city's coal basin through well-made, mineur-filled figure or hands gathering coal in galleries. Buckets, piolets and lamps are other instruments that complement this warm frame with wooden walls. The atmosphere of Six feet is to the image of the solidarity that existed between our ancestors, the climate is hospitable and conducive to the party! Where Green supporters can come and follow the exploits of their favorite team, this pub also offers various tournaments. Poker, darts, Wii, relax with a good foam or home cocktail and listen to a pop-rock music background. The boss is a fan of Led Zeppelin, Queen, Say Straits or Pink Floyd. Concerts and theme evenings are organised regularly to make it easy for clients to enjoy and spend excellent moments. This place is to advise in particular to celebrate its anniversary! Just think about leaving the instructions for seniors: «Beware of firedamp» and «Never turn your lamp before canar! '»»»»

Opposite the Halle aux Grains, on a lively boulevard, MIAM awaits you for a deliciously regressive gourmet break. On the menu: generously filled waffles, crêpes, cookies, homemade pastries... Accompany with a bubble-tea, smoothie or milkshake! On hot summer days, iced teas are a great idea. Enjoy them on the terrace or take them away. The hardest part will be choosing! A real paradise for sweet tooths, but don't worry: MIAM has thought of them too!

Sybille and Nicolas have opened an atypical place in their image, intended for "night owls". In a midnight blue decor with a soft musical background, around sofas, armchairs, velvet chairs and green plants, the tables are spaced out for more tranquility allowing to share, until 11:30 pm, tapas and plates around a glass of wine or a cocktail. Dine after a show or a movie with a constantly renewed menu proposing a nice bistronomic cuisine following the chef's inspirations. Pleasant terrace overlooking the spring.

After more than 30 years of existence, the Captain's Cabin has grown again. The recipe for its longevity? A wide variety of alcohols and cocktails, the kindness of the team and a very extensive repertoire of songs for its karaoke! Music from the 80's or hot tracks liven up the evenings. On the ground floor, the lounge, open to the outside, is also a wine bar. Upstairs, the room can accommodate a hundred people around its dance floor and its screens. If the speakers need to be adjusted, the atmosphere never disappoints!

In this coffee-shop with its warm welcome, you can enjoy excellent coffees and lattes of different origins. Fruit juices, soft drinks, cookies, pastries and snacks are also available, preferably by reservation, in the form of bowls with original recipes, whose theme changes every week, based on seasonal vegetables, basmati rice, goat's cheese log, sherry, walnut oil or Asian flavours. In summer, we offer cold soups and, as soon as the cold sets in, a menu of hot soups, to eat in or take away. Decorated cups and gift accessories.

Each year, the games and themes change, along with the courses, spread over 5 hectares. What to lose the North! But no panic: for the smaller ones, the labyrinth is designed so as not to lose visitors more than three-quarters of an hour. For the larger ones, we remain below 1 h 30. And then the owners can get to your rescue. Finally, to further challenge your sense of orientation, two nights are organized on Fridays around July 14 and August 15, namely in 2012, July 13 and August 17.

What if the best place to have a coffee in Annecy was on Place des Cordeliers? We're not far from thinking so after enjoying an exceptional coffee at Hiatus. A shaded or sunny terrace, with the Thiou River within sight, complemented by a room as warm as the welcome you receive. On the coffee side, selected origins and extractions for every taste, from espresso to filter batch brew, from mocha to flat white made with love. There's also love for other hot beverages, such as an infusion of grandma's remedy or earl grey tea, and cold ones with homemade bissap. Sweet and savoury treats. Coffee shop as we like it.

It is the after Lyon, known for all, below the cross of the Croix-Rousse. L'A is the grandiose way to finish one night well started: electro-music, R'n'b mix for those who still have the strength to dance. When the fishing was good, the guys can also isolate themselves in booths to realize the desire for a whole night. It is more prudent to ensure in advance that the after has a good place, a history of not being disappointed.

Modern decoration. You can come from the morning to the real breakfast, a little trough at midday and stop to eat on the thumb of a "fruit forbidden" bread or a poultry moussaka. When the hour of the aperitif comes, you can find friends around a plate of cheese or sausage, or a bowl of fish or liver liver. Themed evenings once per month and thematic dinners, wi-fi, free, terrace in summer.

The gay club has been in existence for 30 years and still has the wind.

The first Sunday of the month is 100% guys and the last 100% girls!

Do you still know what a bar is? A friendly place to have a good drink! Le Bon Pain Bon Vin, a young address that likes to look back to the past, brings the French bar tradition up to date. Here, the napkins are like the checkered tablecloths and we like this "old" France where we knew how to drink well and eat well... Festive bistro atmosphere on an open kitchen that has nothing to hide. Wide opening hours to meet with friends for a good drink from a carefully selected menu and good, generous dishes like herring and apples in oil. A very nice address that honors the French art of living!

If there are two essential things, it's to have a bike that rolls and to settle down in a place with a high level of coolness to have a coffee, a preferably local beer, or even a Chartreuse (because they're just plants...). In the Saint-Bruno district, a place with several trays, like our bike, for a good ravito. Part bar-café, part organic and local canteen, but also - and this is more original - part bike maintenance and repair workshop, Vélo Café spares no effort to please us with events. Combo if you bring your bike in for a service while enjoying the terrace. A great place to share.

You will have one hour to get out of this neural enigma where you will learn a lot about the local burons... And soon a third room.

The former Sarciron palace is the perfect setting for a gourmet, nostalgic break in a Belle Époque atmosphere. Tea and chocolate can be accompanied by a genuine vanilla Proust madeleine, a chocolate fondant, or fruit jellies from Cruzilles. You can also stop for lunch.

Monsieur Aurélien has returned to the traditions of yesteryear.

Pépé Joe is the perfect place to take a break between runs. You can access the wooden terrace with your skis on. Hungry? The burgers or other quick dishes to prepare will satisfy the hungriest before going back on the skis! The interior allows you to enjoy the warmth when it's cold, but when the weather is good, lunch on the terrace in the sun is a real pleasure. Jazz concerts are sometimes proposed and DJ animations also come to liven up the afternoons. A bistro at the foot of the slopes as we like them!

In this former fortified castle of the Dukes of Bourbon, which also served as a prison, the cells are still there. Part of the Yves Machelon Museum's collection, housed within the walls, evokes memories of the Resistance in the region during the Second World War. A game of escape awaits you, based on the true story of the incredible escape of resistance fighter Claude Hettier de Boislambert from Gannat prison on December 2, 1942. You have around 30 minutes to escape from the cell, for 2 to 4 players aged 13 and over.

This atypical, convivial venue occupies a former cocoon factory dating from 1863, where the magnans brought their silkworm cocoons to be dried and reeled. A painstaking job of making silk thread reels for Lyon's canuts. Viticulture then took over, and Clairette de Die began to be produced here. In 2021, the new owners renovated the premises to open them up to guests, for a night, a week, a meal, to host shows, to open a repair workshop. You can even rent an electric bike.

Nice beer bar where, in a good mood, Cyril selects for you, every week, an atypical beer. Cervoise, IPA, pale ale, Christmas beer, beers from the Puy-de-Dômoise des Sagnes brewery. To accompany it, he proposes a pizza menu and three burrito recipes, leaving Clarisse to cook them at La Caverne just next door. To be enjoyed on the terrace in the passage, or to take away.
