Fun and entertainment Provence

Already revolutionary in Marseille with its underground cocktail bar concept, the Carry Nation collective has this time taken over the trees of Aubagne and more particularly the park of a castle, thus proposing to taste cocktails a few meters above the ground. The cocktails based on fresh fruits and herbs are in the spotlight with many creations. The plants used are grown on site. Unusual for sure. Nice eco-citizen approach. Reservations are required as the number of entries is limited.

Le Grand Café Malarte invites you to discover its refined atmosphere. Inside, the stonework on the wall behind the bar adds a sharp edge to the modernity of the place. Another Arles institution, it has the class and flavor of the great brasseries. Burger, filet de boeuf Rossini, sea bream, risotto or chicken wok, everything is delicious. The pizzas are just as tasty and varied. Malarte can be enjoyed at any time of day, all year round. Don't miss the Saturday morning aperitif in the heart of the market. Mythical!

It's one of Avignon's well-known little addresses on the hill overlooking the Palais des Papes, otherwise known as the Rocher des Doms, laid out as an English garden. The climb may seem arduous, but the reward is at hand when you arrive at the glass and metal pavilion bordering a pond, where you can sit down for a drink, an ice cream or lunch: salads, tartines and daily specials. The little tourist train makes it easy to get around if you need to.

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.

Open at noon and night, thanks to the atmosphere that makes the reputation of the 11-year-old establishment . From Thursday evening, some live music and theme evenings are offered. Programming on the website of the establishment. As for the cuisine, the menu card will make you travel around the world: woks, burgers, grilled fish, risotto and some suggestions. A nice shaded terrace welcomes you throughout the year to enjoy the many sunny days. An address recommended by the Petit Futé!

A smart new address in the heart of the village of Allauch. A stopover at Manon and Enzo's Tout simplement, a café that lives up to its name. More than a traditional restaurant, this is a coffee shop where you can enjoy a hot or cold homemade drink, sweets concocted by Manon, the head pastry chef, and even a few tasty dishes that change with the day and the seasons with Enzo, the head chef, who trained at the Collège Culinaire de France. Each week's menus are inspired, drawn up in direct liaison with producers and at affordable prices. All in all, Tout simplement offers a simple, upscale street-food experience.

A pleasant downtown bar with a classic pub space and an Indian style but English style pub space with a nice Bollywood feel. A friendly atmosphere and good tapas dishes to share.

This wine and beer bar is located on a small quiet square where a good part of the terrace is spread out. Inside, it looks like a large tavern made of red briquettes, cement tiles on the floor, a large counter with 5 Belgian beer pumps and 30 homemade beers and wine barrels everywhere for decoration. They organise concerts on some Fridays. And for a better feast with friends, Jérémy also offers boards to share, baked camemberts with dried fruit or herbs and desserts for gourmets.

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 superb terrace facing the port allows you to observe the crowd of night owls in the area. Inside, the subdued atmosphere is conducive to confidences, especially since the establishment's clever cocktails have the gift of stimulating conversations! In summer, you'll be more likely to settle down on the terrace, which is as crowded and festive as you could wish. The clientele, essentially composed of thirty and forty year olds, has been meeting there for several years now. They are both regular Hyèrois as well as tourists on the go. One of the bars not to be missed in Hyères.

This cafe-bar-restaurant surmounted by a clock, which makes the corner between the course of Estienne-d'Orves and the rue Breteils, has a beautiful terrace that attracts a fairly eclectic clientele. You can also install inside, but beware, there are not many places. Since its opening in 2013, the owners (of the café opposite, The Pointu) have been able to renew the place and its kitchen. In addition to having a drink (an antifungal cocktail, a mojito, or a glass of wine - the original card, which is also to be discovered inside the bistro!), you can eat it (tapas, pork plates) or eat it more consistently, and very well: tender and bone bones, seven-hour roasted lamb and vegetables, or the famous slut salad with its gizzards and poultry livers. Slate changes regularly! The heart of! is the perfect place for your palate! A pretty little address. Note that evenings are often organized with neighbors across the way during the summer!

Here is a brand new bar, to discover for its friendliness and charm. The Zanzi'bar is ideally placed on the wharf of the beautiful port of Saint-Mandrier, with a pleasant terrace on the edge of the waves. The interior has been completely renovated with a sleek, modern plant with ethnic touches, a light bar (changing colour), white rhino heads, exposed stones and beams, small tables and benches. Here you will be joined by the end of the afternoon to refresh yourself, then at the time of aperitif, or for a moment of relaxation thanks to a wide range of drinks. We love original syrups (papa, kiwi, watermelon, etc.), the famous Gambetta (very famous in the south!), and all the classic drinks.

A popular lounge bar for Des as well as summer tourists. You can settle there at the end of the day to sip a cocktail or a glass of rosé (Mediterranean tradition) at the end of the day, sharing with friends one of the pizzas proposed to the map (the white one has won us especially), leaving the vast terrace with the trendy lighting to reach the dining room, and finally return to the outside atmosphere. chic and casual that has since taken possession of the places. In the immediate vicinity of the Almanarre without a direct access, La Mandra organizes several occasions in summer special evenings. Opening and closing are must: correct dress that is amply recommended!
