Fun and entertainment Chamonix-Mont Blanc

A few steps down to enter Les Caves du Cap Horn. The wine bar combines the traditional wood of mountain dwellings with the contemporary design of the lighting and decoration. A convivial space for a moment of relaxation before or after a meal in the restaurant - Les Caves serve the same menu as the Cap Horn restaurant - in a different and unique atmosphere. It is also a wonderful place to party, as the bar turns into a dance floor at night. Ideal to start or end the evening in the most hype place in Chamonix!

Not to be missed for its originality and good spirit! An emblematic place where international youth meet in the late afternoon to enjoy a beer brewed on site with pure glacial water from the Alps and to savor burgers and other quality home-made Canadian and North American specialties. Run by Canadians who brew great beers on site, amidst pine vats, the MBC sets the pace. Weekend mornings, hearty brunches.

Samy Frey, Gérard Depardieu, Claude Lelouch, Bébel and Pierce Brosnan: they all adorn the façade of Chamonix's Vox cinema. This is to be expected, given that each of them has at one time or another shot a film or scene in Mont Blanc country. It's a pity the fresco wasn't done later, as Clint Eastwood and Cécile de France could have appeared in the trompe-l'oeil windows created by A. Fresco. Inside, three 3D digital cinemas offer a wide choice of French and foreign films in French and - oh miracle in Haute-Savoie - original versions. Who said there were too many British tourists in Chamonix? Not the film buffs!

At the foot of Mont Blanc, the Royal Casino in Chamonix is the highest in Europe. In the city center, in a magnificent listed building from the early 20th century, its charm has not faded. One of the most beautiful gaming rooms we know. Sensations around the tables of traditional games with the English roulette, the black jack or the Texas Hold'em Ultimate, but also by playing on one of the 75 slot machines while watching the jackpots climbing. 8 places on the electronic English roulette. And to break the ice, cocktails or other drinks at the bar!

We're not going to close this new edition, without taking a quick look at this Atelier Café, which bears its name. The friendly atmosphere of the cafés of yesteryear, but with a spirit of today. Yesterday's atmosphere, for the great friendliness of the service, the kindness of a team and today for the warm and colourful decoration, where the wood is not forgotten. Surely the place has permeated the personality of the new managers, unless it is the reverse, but the place is pleasant, and very warm, and we love this. We take advantage of the excellent breakfast formulas, and at any time of the day you will be lulled by the whisper of the Arve, on the beautiful terrace, with homemade pancakes or other small preparations. Another pleasure, in the evening, where we find ourselves among friends, to make the leisure inventory of the day, and set those of the next day around a hot drink of the Workshop, with or without alcohol, accompanied by a good pork or cheese platter: the holidays start well!

Once a stop to the efforts coming from the lower valley of the River Arve and en route to Switzerland, the bar Le Brévent today welcomes another type of clientele, still exhausted and thirsting, but rather more exotic: the Anglo-Saxons! As often in Chamonix, the British clientele is a queen in this blend lieu, skilfully taken over by Gary, the boss, who fell in love with Mont Blanc massif like so many other friends of the Manche. And that is all the better: The bar Le Brévent is a special atmosphere, which is only too rarely found in Chamonix. As a district bar used by time and seasons but where the counter always open, the chimney fire always lit and the new regulars still filled somewhere succeeds in keeping the memory of the well-awake place. We feel well, around a pint of beer shared with the customers of Gîte Le Vagabond on the floor, or sitting in front of a tartiflette or a cheese crust. The clientele is cosmopolitan and warm and bright faces. As for prices, they are disconcerting disconcerting: 3 € the happy pint of beer! The bar has just won its new visitors.

Gay friendly disco in the centre of Chamonix, close to the Téléphérique du Midi cable car. Regular theme evenings: Karaoke, years 80, électro, beach evenings, etc. From 23 h till dawn, you are being dancing on the tubes of the moment, in the midst of beautiful guys.
