The whistle has been blown against a backdrop of samba and the teams are now facing off on Brazilian soil. Anyway, the World Cup has started.

Soccer is a rather male sport and a high percentage of women think that until July 13, the date of the final, they'll have a tough time of it. But maybe there's better things to do than isolate yourself in front of yet another rerun (and yes, it's summer) of "Angelique"?

Curtain on the football and patchwork of ideas made in Le Quartier des Tissus, so you don't have to do the tapestry alone at home.

The advantage of the time difference with Brazil is that the matches are only broadcast in France between 6pm and midnight. Perfect opportunity to plan a girls' night out on his own, right? These new curtains to show the girlfriends can be a great excuse. Do you prefer to go out, but bars with big screen projections of the matches are a real nerve-wracking experience? It's best to avoid the main squares but you'll be surprised to discover that a lot of bars and restaurants don't have anything to do with football. Many people have made it their summer theme and display it clearly on their shop fronts. The same goes for private beaches, where the cult of the round ball is often non-existent. The icing on the cake is that single people who are definitely resistant to football will be able to meet men who, if they are there, are only remotely interested in the World Cup. Or how can we not necessarily limit ourselves to just rag talks...

Then there are the shows. Despite the strike by the intermittent workers, not all of them are cancelled. Why not take the opportunity to attend the curtain raisers at the Théâtre de la Mer in Sète or the Thau Festival, or a performance at Montpellier Danse or the Mouvements sur La Ville festival? Only places where you are not likely to hear the public shouting "Allez les Bleus! "»...

Not to mention the cinema, where it's cool and where (always look on the bright side) you won't have to fight with your dear and dearest for the choice of the movie.

Afterwards, if you don't like to go out and prefer to change your cushions or your interior, there will soon be a sale at the Quartier des Tissus. Better to be a cousin than Cosette, eh? And we don't just offer you blue, we offer you countless other colours. Even if you don't like football, a living room in the colours of Brazil can be very pretty!
