Fun and entertainment La Rochelle

During its renovation in 1990, this former fish market dressed its beautiful white stones in steel and glass. Theater, dance, music: the programming of La Coursive shows an eclecticism that rhymes with quality. The "small" theater Verdière alone symbolizes the spirit of the place, with 385 seats, it offers a proximity between the stage and the public. Since 2018, La Coursive has been getting closer to the Coupe d'Or theater, sharing no less than 11 shows in common and setting up free buses to discover them.

Just a stone's throw from the Old Port, this bar is a delight for anyone looking to sip a quality cocktail. Prepared by Nicolas, each one is carefully crafted to produce balanced, original drinks. You'll find both revisited classics, as well as creations to sip on in a decidedly pleasant setting and atmosphere, while nibbling on pretty aperitif boards, spreads (guacamole, tuna rillettes) and even homemade French fries. The best part? A smiling welcome and friendly service. There's no doubt about it, this is a place where you'll feel right at home!

La Guignette is much more than a bar, it's an authentic place that has marked generations of Rochelais. Founded 100 years ago by Edmiliano Garcia, the cellar still welcomes crowds of students and those just starting out for the evening. Originally, La Guignette was a supplier of wines and spirits to ships in port. Today in the hands of Frédéric Baudry, this institution is as crowded as ever! Many people want to taste the famous sparkling wine. It's best to arrive early for a seat.

A store in Rochefort, another one in La Rochelle, game lovers are spoiled! For more than 10 years, people from Rochelle have been coming to a small, quiet street to indulge their passion for board games. It must be said that everything here encourages you to have a great time, from the warm welcome to the choice of games and the friendly atmosphere! With friends or family, you will find the latest game. No need for instructions, a team of enthusiasts will explain how to play! And there's no time limit!

This little theater has a very evocative name! It is ideally located in the heart of downtown, just behind the Place de Verdun. Close to several parking lots and bus stops, it allows spectators to come easily to attend a performance. In this little frequented street, the Comédie allows to spend a good moment, comfortably seated in the pretty room with 160 red velvet seats. The atmosphere is perfect for admiring the actors' performance. Moreover, many famous authors of the French-speaking humor came!

The people of La Rochelle are music lovers and if many of them are waiting impatiently for the Francofolies, they are just as numerous to go to the Sirène. This human-sized concert hall is located in the heart of the La Pallice district. It has quickly become a must-see address for all fans of shows with a varied musical universe. For 10 years, La Sirène has hosted some of the biggest names on the international music scene. Moreover, it is easy to get there thanks to the shuttle bus offering a free return at the end of the concert.

Leave the Old Port and its litany of bars behind and wander down to the little Rue Verdière. It's here that you'll discover a place that's both intimate and atypical. There's no doubt about it, the welcome is warm and the atmosphere pleasant, in a place dedicated to the famous 1970s American series. You only have to look around to realize that the owner, Jérôme, is a former pilot: aviator's jacket and cap, photos of fighter planes, crest, models... The decor leaves no room for doubt! This fan of Commander Greg Boyington's adventures has created a world of his own that will win you over. With this unspeakable setting and atmosphere, you'd almost forget to mention Jérôme's two specialities: a rum bar (with a serious menu featuring... 100 different rums), Belgian beers and a choice of 10 different champagnes. For those of you who don't know what you're talking about, there's also a cocktail menu named after the actors in the series, of course! Note that every third Thursday of the month in "r", we come to taste oysters directly from the oyster farmer Cyril Parpaix, located in Anse de la Patache (at the end of the island).

Even when you're in a hurry, it's hard not to take a peek in the store window. Located under the arcades of rue Chaudrier, this family-run business has become a well-known address. It's hard to choose between all the colorful delicacies. There's something for every taste and every shape. You'll find the great classics of French patisserie: baba au rhum, flan pâtissier, mille-feuille, but also more original creations: Frambofolie (chocolate-passion bavarois, almonds), Oasis (mango-passion creamy...

A well-known address of rochelaise youth. Every night at La Calhutte, it's Java! We come from friends to enjoy the festive, festive atmosphere that reigns there. It is certainly not very large and seating is expensive, but the guarantee of an excellent evening is stronger. The music is good and very appreciated by the clients, it is not unusual to see the whole assembly take on the refrain of a song of Black Désir or Telephone. Comfortably installed in sofas and while sipping pop-corn, you can drink a multitude of drinks (beer, cervoise, jacqueline). As soon as it's beautiful and the sun is on, I recommend that you take a good time on the terrace on the charming Forks square.

With its 12 screens and almost 2,300 seats, the Mega CGR is the biggest cinema in town! Moviegoers are not mistaken, and come in droves. It's true that the images are of the highest quality, as each cinema is equipped with the very latest projection technology. The largest cinemas benefit from Atmos sound, with 2 times as many speakers to intensely experience every action. To immerse yourself even further in the film and be comfortably seated, opt for the Ice room! The cinema offers a wide range of programming.

If there's one nightclub you need to know in La Rochelle, it's the Piano Pub. With its central island bar and Australian decor, it's a benchmark especially among La Rochelle's youth. Every evening, especially on Thursdays and Saturdays, the bar is packed with students looking for a crazy atmosphere, and they get it! The pop/rock music is in full swing and the small dance areas are packed. In fact, you can often see the tables being used as dancefloors by some of the revelers. When you come to the Piano, you know you're going to bump into old acquaintances, but you also know you're going to make new ones, because here we like to party even with strangers. Pitchers of beer and rum flow freely until the night owls leave. A word of advice, though, if you want to find seats: come early! Very quickly, the space runs out, making it difficult to move around, but that's what makes the Piano Pub so charming and atmospheric...

La Terrasse is one of the rare bars in La Rochelle to make the dance floor vibrate to the sound of hip-hop and urban music. The advantage is that it is located in the city center and that the team is welcoming. Its large terrace (hence the name!) is crowded when the weather is nice, and its open-plan interior is the perfect place to party. Here, for the followers of this style, the music is good and it is not a coincidence if the dance floor is crowded even if it should be recognized that it is not very large.

This bar is located in one of the quiet streets of La Rochelle. Open all week and even the weekend it welcomes all those who want to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. It is in this place of sharing that you come among friends to drink a drink. The Harmattan - whose clientele is young enough - is the right place to get out of friends without having to break the vocal cords to discuss, with eclectic music not being too strong. The charm of the establishment is largely in its basement. A kind of very pleasant stone cellar.

This cinema is one of the places that the people of La Rochelle particularly appreciate and it owes it as much to its atmosphere as to its location in the heart of the Old Port. Ideal for an afternoon in town. The cinema is also known for the warm welcome of its staff. Recently renovated, it is as pleasant as clean. Forgotten the gigantism of the mega CGR located in Minimes, this cocoon offers comfortable seats. A neighborhood cinema par excellence, the place is praised for its warm atmosphere and its simply unique location.

It is a place as unique as timeless, installed under the arcades. As you enter, you will be charmed by the very special atmosphere that invites you to enjoy the moment, with your partner or family. As you sit in the room, you may think of Simenon who found his inspiration here. In this timeless place, you can write a few lines, rediscover the world around a coffee but you can also have lunch. The waiters, in traditional dress, will bring you copious and colored plates, to taste in particular in terrace.

Rain is coming this weekend? Don't panic! Let's leave the Old Port to get closer to this bowling alley installed in the Minimes district. Easy to reach by bus, bike or car, the place is well known by families and those who want to have fun with friends. Here you will enjoy a friendly atmosphere to start a game on approved tracks. Everyone can play, even children, because the lanes are equipped with bumpers. The bowling alley is also a free access games area, including a virtual reality game!

The casino enjoys a delightful location near the ocean. Players will have plenty of time to indulge their passion for gambling in a place that stands out for its Belle Epoque architecture. The program includes some 150 slot machines, table games with two blackjack tables, English roulette and Texas Hold'em poker. Everyone can enjoy the restaurant, which offers several formulas, including appetizer buffets, and the lounge bar with its terrace.

This bar is specialized in rum. When you enter, you will be delighted to be welcomed by a friendly team. No doubt, Biggy, Julien and all the staff are passionate! Notice to the amateurs of this famous brandy, here it is in the heart of the party. The "tasting" formula allows you to choose 2cl glasses to test different varieties. Biggy, the king of cocktails, prepares in front of you some specialities based on fresh fruits, rum or vodka. The success always having a small reverse, the lack of place is sometimes palpable.

The vegan restaurant Un piano dans la théière offers a unique culinary experience. Combining gastronomy, art and music, this establishment offers simple, authentic and elegant cuisine in which plants are king. Each plate is a real painting, carefully prepared by Chef Violaire. The chef's signature flowers add a touch of beauty to each dish. The restaurant also boasts a grand piano in the dining room, offering music lovers a pleasant musical ambience. For lovers of poetry, the restaurant also organizes a poetry competition on the theme of animals, with a tea time for two as the prize for the winner.
