Fun and entertainment Provence

The Devils Mare is the oldest gay settlement in Marseille since the box has been opened since the 60 s. Rather eclectic music: disco, eighties/nineties and house and electro hits of the moment. Themed evenings (foam, oriental, Brazilian…) organized two to three times a month, detailed on the website.

This disco, whose clientele is gay and lesbian, offers transformistes shows and theme evenings regularly (see the calendar on the club website). The station area is outside the city, 10 minutes south of Avignon by the suspension viaduct of Rognognas.

Qu'a vist La Ciotat, se noun a vist Ô Central, pou dire : n'ai rèn vist ! This institution of the port gathers natives, visitors and workers of the building site from the morning around a coffee, the midday to benefit from the sun and the evening for aperitifs which one remembers. It's a bit of a friends' place with the friendly Hervé and Mathieu who run the place. Le Central has been given a makeover, with a larger bioclimatic terrace and green walls. In season, you can't miss the Friday concerts if you walk along the port.

Le Central is a bar with a large interior room and one of the oldest addresses in Riez. On market days, Wednesday and Saturday mornings, it is the perfect place to have a drink in a relaxed atmosphere. On sunny days, the outdoor terrace is popular and often full to bursting. Le Central is also a snack bar (at lunchtime only) with mixed salads, wood-fired pizzas, bruschettas, paninis or fried burgers. In the morning, the regulars come to have their breakfast.

At the plantation, you'll find a wide range of coffees - around twenty in all - that Jean-Denis roasts every week: grands crus, from Brazil, Papua, Kilimanjaro, Ethiopia and Peru, both organic and fair trade; sold as beans, ground coffee, special blends (full-bodied, fruity, sweet) and an Italian blend for connoisseurs. Jean-Denis will advise you on your choice. You can sit on the terrace or inside for a coffee, of course, or a milkshake, bubble tea, homemade pastry or artisanal ice cream.

One of Marseille's latest cinemas, this multiplex has thought big. In a building designed by the artist Ora-Ïto, you'll find a blend of modernity and comfort. 14 screens and the best technological innovations. Among them, a Dolby Cinéma room, a 4DX room and a Premium area for those who want to live an intense experience. Special rooms like the Tediber for children or the Cocoon for lovers. Here, cinema is experienced to the full. It's beautiful and efficient. The staff are few and far between, however, and everything is automated, which is rather sad, but it has to be said that Marseille now has an ultra-modern cinema.

The wine bar of the Château du Mourre du Tendre is located in front of the tourist office and close to the antique theater, a chic and cozy place to relax. You can come in the morning for breakfast or throughout the day to taste the remarkable wines of the domain. You will be able to savor planks of cold cuts, cheeses, homemade pies, tartines, terrines, veloutés, salads... Don't forget to make a detour in their store next door.

Located on Crudère street, this bar has everything to please: a welcoming counter, an authentic and warm decoration and especially... a great selection of beers! Ten drafts of the day are served and change daily. Some are foreign, others French... and there are even local ones! The Voie Maltée's premises are also regularly taken over for an evening for artists' exhibitions, acoustic concerts, dj nights and many other events. Try it out for a lively evening!

The Makeda is a popular place for a drink and good music right next to La Plaine. A concert hall and dancefloor where all forms of artistic expression find their place. The configuration and capacity of just under 270 spectators have also contributed to the venue's reputation. Since 2019, the Makeda has offered a varied program of emerging and established urban music. It is also a venue for exhibitions and performances. For the program, visit the website!

Fans of the big thrills and chills? This is the place for you! The "horror maze" welcomes you for an escape game session in the heart of horror. Sensitive souls abstain, we are not here in an innocent ghost train carnival. The sensations are more than real. By plunging into your worst nightmares, you will try to escape before it is too late. On a 600 ^m2 surface, special effects and actors take turns to make you experience hell. Certainly a good way to unite a team, a bunch of friends or a company as it all seems so real. Survival is now within everyone's reach. Although.

La Maison de Jo & Gaby is at once a wine cellar (the only one in the town center), a wine bar and a fine delicatessen. In addition to a selection of champagnes, wines and crus from Cassis, Provence and all regions of France, you'll find excellent Iberian charcuterie, regional cheeses, truffles in all their forms, and even French caviar. As for the wine bar, you can enjoy your glass of wine on the terrace or in the cosy lounge with its jazzy background music. Live entertainment is organized regularly.

This rather unusual small theatre is located between Castellane and the Cours Julien. The room is small but can accommodate a nice small audience, the entrance offers a beautiful theatre atmosphere with a bar conducive to staying for a drink after the show. On the poster side, comedy shows especially, one-man shows and magic performances from time to time. Local and national artists, experienced or less, a beautiful venue to discover or enjoy real talent. The prices are always accessible so as not to spoil anything. It should be noted that L'Art dû offers theatre courses for adults and children, team-building courses for companies.

Want to test your 5 senses? Go to this unusual escape game, where they will be called upon to find the exit. Thrills guaranteed at the idea of not seeing anything but touching for example, 3 SAS and 6 workshops to test your sense of smell, your hearing or your taste. A rather incredible concept in terms of sensations. Ideal for corporate events, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or simply an excuse for an activity between friends and family. By solving the riddles, you will allow donations to a partner association. Go for it!

The establishment is located on the southern ramparts of Avignon, not far from the Palais de Justice. La Bodeguita is a great place to come and dance, especially if you like Latin rhythms, as there's a DJ every night. You can also take dance classes (salsa, bachata, kizomba...). What's more, the food is good, whether it's fish or meat, it's simple and always fresh and concocted by Cuban chef José Antenor: it's also an invitation to travel. A place where there's no shortage of entertainment! Enjoy without moderation.

Immerse yourself in the intrigue of the manor of the big crows! An escape game that plunges you into three exciting historical atmospheres. A mission that plunges you into the USSR in 1962, another that transports you into the secrets of the palace of a Persian sultan, and the last, a very successful dive into the Wild West on the trail of an unscrupulous bandit. Three missions to be carried out in team (from 2 to 6 players), in one hour of time. Good plan, on weekdays between 10am and 4pm, off-peak rates are cheaper, think of booking!

This bowling alley welcomes you for moments of relaxation and entertainment with family or friends, in a warm, mountainous and musical atmosphere. With its 600 m², it offers many activities: 6 bowling lanes, 4 billiards, 2 table footballs, 1 large outdoor ping-pong table and 1 games room.

Did you grow up in the '90s and are eternally nostalgic for that era? Then this brand-new bar, opening in September 2023, is for you. With a guaranteed fluorescent atmosphere and themed decor featuring posters, goodies and retro video games, you're in for a real childhood experience, and we have to say it's a real success. Totally unique in the region and unheard of in France, the famous living room from the American series The Simpsons has been recreated. There's a great atmosphere at the bar, with sports broadcasts and a fine selection of tapas in the evening. You won't soon be able to do without it.

Mystery and gumdrops! This space-time travel agency sends teams of travelers to think, who, in only 90 minutes, must solve riddles about history, for example in 1516 save the secrets of the recipe of an elixir of long life, forgotten in his escape by an alchemist of Fréjus, know the truth about an object kept secret by Napoleon on his return from his Egyptian campaign or, in 1976, replace a 3 star chef, who has just cut his hand, the day of the arrival of a ruthless culinary critic.

Located in the pedestrian intramuros, this place makes you want to go inside, first with its terrace, then inside with its animal decoration. Yes, all the armchairs are leopard! Finally an address in Avignon where you can enjoy a delicious bubble tea. With different flavors, with or without milk, it is a little known Asian drink here in France. You will be pleasantly surprised by the consistency of the tapioca beads at the bottom of your glass. This coffee-shop is also appreciated for its gourmet range of hot chocolates and cappuccinos.

Hardly a year goes by without the Belle-de-Mai district, around La Friche, seeing the arrival of an exciting new address! To be perfectly accurate, we're not actually in La Belle-de-Mai, but a stone's throw away, and at Les Pieds tanqués, a stone's throw counts. Here, in a place that's all about conviviality and meeting new people, lots of young people come for a drink, a bite to eat and a game of cochonnet. Because yes, Pétanque does indeed come from "tanned feet", and its name did indeed derive from this expression when it was created in La Ciotat. We love the healthy spirit of this new place for sharing, the idea that Provencal heritage can be combined with our modern lifestyles.

A few weeks of work and a new skin for this café, which is now a must in the Opera district. The dynamic Dvozig is still at the helm with his unstoppable concept of tea and infusions bar. A cosy place with a beautiful terrace where you can lounge in the sun while enjoying the liveliness of the Place de l'Opéra. To eat now, Dvozig has revisited things with a tribute to its origins: small home-cooked Armenian dishes and snacks, at low prices. But Infusion is also and above all a place to discover the world of tea. About forty references and some of them change according to the seasons. We still like it, bravo to Dvozig who reinvents himself.

It is easy to understand when you enter L'Echoppe that it is a place dedicated to beer. The wall of bottled beers that you meet when you arrive is a tangible proof; hop lovers, you will find your happiness here! The bartenders really know their stuff, offering over five beers, most of which are local and craft, on draft, as well as hundreds in bottles. If you don't like it, don't panic! Also on the menu are wines, softs, and particularly tasty arranged rums. A great festive address.

Created by Sam Harkand & Cie in 2000, this theater is happily developing its specificity: expressionist theater. Inspired by commedia del arte, burlesque and cabaret, this technique opens up new possibilities for the actor. Masks, clowns, jesters and puppets take to the stage in direct dialogue with the audience. The actors, with their singular acting style, create a colorful universe of expressive bodies, costumes and music. A place of residence and creation for companies, it is also a training ground for rediscovering these rare techniques.

Forget what you imagine of a traditional karaoke as it is found in the 4 corners of France. Inspired by a famous concept found in Berlin and London, Sing or die Karaoké brings to Marseilles that touch of madness so eagerly awaited by song lovers! Here, there's nothing but good humour, kindness and no shame to be had. The audience is cool, the current playlists (and some classics, 3,000 tracks all the same) and above all we're having fun. Atmosphere halfway between punk and queer, open your eyes and ears wide. As a bonus, 4 soundproof boxes can be privatized to sing at the top of your lungs with friends or for the shyest ones.

The nice stopover that we offer you for a five o clock in a quiet place, far from the tourist turmoil, is at Alice et ses Merveilles, a few steps away from the church of Saint Didier in the heart of Avignon. After the lunch service, Stéphanie offers you a varied tea menu, hot or iced teas in summer, smoothies, pressed juices and milkshakes with homemade pastries or homemade ice creams. In the very cosy setting on the first floor, you can sit comfortably on a sofa at table height, your back well supported by soft cushions. Perfect to meet between girls, friends or mother and daughter(s)

You are simply here in front of the oldest cinema in the world in activity, yes! Facing the sea, the Eden has been able to adapt through time, and offers new releases, heritage films, art house releases, major events with cinema personalities, and even Ciné-Gourmandsfor children: 1 film and an organic snack, often followed by a workshop. Sightseeing tours are also offered on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 2:30 pm. A great time for young and old, in the footsteps of the illustrious Lumière brothers!

It's the meeting point for Avignon high school students after school. The concept: an atmosphere and products inspired by New York. You can nibble on cheesecake, pancakes, bagels, donuts and other muffins all made on the spot. For drinks, milkshakes, smoothies, hazelnut or caramel lattes, milkshakes, iced tea, chocolates and flavored coffees, a variety of syrups including a very sweet specula. And the little detail that appeals to young people: they are given a beeper that rings when the order is ready. As soon as it rings, it is served!

The junk shop spirit isn't really there anymore... It's the rugby spirit that has replaced it, or rather that of the RCT - Club de Toulon for the uninitiated. The very sunny terrace attracts a good number of onlookers who come to read a newspaper, have a drink, stroll around large wrought iron tables. Many of the regulars have made it their favourite spot and on some days it is a bit difficult to find a place to drink a coffee. Traditional cuisine with fresh and seasonal products, but also foot packets or sauerkraut depending on the season.

Easily accessible from Avignon's northern exit, this multiplex cinema has 11 screens with digital projection. The program includes everything from mainstream films and popular comedies to original versions and 3D screenings. There are also screenings for the very young (under 3), with special events and low prices. Previews are announced on the site, giving you the chance to meet the film teams, actors and directors.

When summer comes, Alexis Gruss and his old-fashioned circus in the 13-hectare park of the castle of Piolenc. And as always, the magic happens. Each season, a new show with its marvelous horses, the acrobatics of the horsemen, the jugglers, the balancing acts. We would not miss the clown show for anything in the world. You must follow the botanical tour, the projection of old films. The ultimate privilege, it is also possible to visit the stables. And also the museum which contains some nuggets!

The hippodrome of Cavaillon is a small country hippodrome with a friendly atmosphere. The trotting track is 1,200 metres long. It is a pleasant place where you can of course follow the horse races and indulge your passion or discover it, beware you are quickly caught up in the game! but also you come to relax with friends, have a drink or a bite to eat and admire the horses! Numerous events are regularly organized there.

Very nice address in the center of Garéoult. A cosy place with a warm atmosphere, with a beautiful terrace for the beautiful days. Here, we find a lover of tea, infusions, a fine connoisseur devoted to advise you. Many accessories on sale around tea, loose infusions, chocolates... Enjoy a savoury cake, a sweet pancake, a welcome break. In summer, fresh infused drinks, choice of ice creams. A gourmet address that we appreciate and quite unique in the region. Parking nearby.

As you enter this salon, you are drawn in by the delicate scent of freshly roasted coffee and the smell of subtly scented teas. Let yourself be tempted by the home-made pies. What happiness! Very warm welcome. A very professional team that listens to you and takes pleasure in advising you. The shop offers a wide variety of teas and coffees, as well as a large choice of tea and coffee sets. You will have understood, we like to meet with friends at P'tit-grain, especially on Saturday morning, market day.

Located in the heart of the city, this 100% gay club is a real institution and, let's face it, one of the few places where you can have fun every day of the week until the wee hours. The trans parties are pretty huge 100% crazy. Music-wise, it's a mix of clichés and a bit more cutting edge. But on the whole, it hums and it is also for that that we like this discotheque. There are sometimes some DJs in guest star and theme nights, that boosts the atmosphere. And there, the outfits can be quite crazy!
