Fun and entertainment Aix-En-Provence

Enjoy the privilege of entering the interior garden of this private mansion, in the summer under the generous shade of its hundred-year-old trees. You can sit at one of the outdoor tables for a drink, or sit there at lunchtime and in the evening to taste the beautiful recipes created by the chef in residence. It is a gourmet stopover but also a cultural one. This is how Nicolas Mazet wanted it, a house of Art and History, accessible to the widest possible audience, with contemporary art exhibitions.

At the top of the Cours Sextius, it's a brasserie atmosphere during the day, with croque-monsieur, croque- madame, salad, burger, Simmental entrecôte; everything is fresh and homemade. From 10 a.m. onwards, you can grab a coffee from Maison Noailles in Marseille, or head here in the evening for an aperitif with friends. The barmaid offers a cocktail menu, and if you're a fan, during happy hours 7 days a week, classic and non-alcoholic cocktails are available at reduced prices. DJ entertainment on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. All-you-can-eat brunch on Saturday and Sunday. A trendy downtown spot.

A veritable temple dedicated to classical music, opera and dance, this theatre is one of the city's new must-see buildings. With its modern exterior and Italian-style auditorium, the GTP (Grand Théâtre de Provence) is equipped with the latest technology: high quality acoustics, an orchestra pit with 105 musicians and 1,370 seats, 950 of which are on the floor. In July, it hosts operas from the Festival of Lyric Art. At Easter, the festival of the same name takes place there.

A cocooning and bohemian atmosphere for this atypical space recently located in a small street at the top of the Cours Sextius. It is at the bottom that everything happens: in the double vaulted cellar whitewashed with lime. Inside courtyard style of a bastide for the restaurant part: patinated shutters, bistro chairs and tables, linen benches. Mediterranean atmosphere for the other part: indigo blue walls, cushions and coloured benches. It is a quiet place, conducive to relaxation and conviviality. Board games are available as well as books in the library area. Electric sockets and Wifi access allow you to surf the net. You can enjoy refined teas, herbal teas, Colombian coffee and snack on a cake. A fun, young and friendly atmosphere.

Built on the narrow site of the former royal Jeu de Paume dating from the ^mid-18th century, this superb little Italian-style theater with a capacity of 493 seats has a charm all its own, due in part to the intimate atmosphere it exudes. Completely renovated in 2000, it boasts comfortable seats and perfect acoustics. It works hand in hand with Marseille's Théâtre du Gymnase and the Grand Théâtre de Provence, each year offering a program that alternates from one venue to the other, but is combined in a single catalog offered to the public.

In Aix it is called «BE». This is an institution on the Cours Mirabeau to take appetizers in happy hours. The outdoor terrace is pleasant in summer and is heated in winter! Inside, large rococos chandeliers and all the deep, you can join a more intimate room with comfortable seats if you wish. There's nothing to do with the outdoor terrace, where the music invites you to enjoy the atmosphere at the end of the day. It is rather "electro" and so very connected. You are on the most beautiful avenue of Aix-en-Provence, just opposite the fountain of hot water…

In place of the Great R, the Grand Théâtre de Provence opened the Teddy Bar, a cosy atmosphere of a pub, open the evenings of representation from 19 H and two new intermission bars - one in the lobby, one in the patio for smokers (and non smokers).

Le 3 C is a cultural and civic café run exclusively by volunteers. Prior to the creation of Le 3 C, Aix-en-Provence lacked a citizen-run space for debate, reflection, creative cooperation and the discovery of both amateur and professional artists. An alternative cultural space to the omnipresent consumerist commercial culture. At 3 C, associations can find their place within a collective approach. A snack bar featuring organic, local, artisanal and/or fair-trade produce is also available. In this convivial space, you can simply come for a drink and, above all, share, learn and create. Plus: workshops on Tuesdays (sketching), Thursdays (computing) and one Friday a month (writing). Every Tuesday of the month, there's a big meal to which everyone is invited. A great address to discover!

100% gay bar located in a small pedestrian street, close to the MG Club. Many boys are at this air-conditioned bar close to the town hall and thermal baths, consisting of a room with the counter on the ground floor and two rooms in basement, arched, with billiard and a baby-soccer to get familiar with a sport often forgotten by the gay or having fun between mates. It is possible to surf the web with the free Internet point. Thematic evenings are regularly organized.
