Fun and entertainment Châteaux de la Loire

From the small terrace outside, this place smells of travel: with Karla, the hostess, you're in Guatemala, where coffee is king! Here, coffee comes in espresso, latte and cappuccino varieties. We also serve classic and less classic hot and cold drinks, such as the delicious Pumpkin or Pink Latte. Even better with a cheesecake or homemade cookie! At lunchtime, you can devour a dish of the day, fajitas or nachos, or the Guatemalan Sunday brunch, with plantains and black beans. ¿Qué café prefieres?

A bar well known by the Angevins who crowd in all seasons, inside as well as on the terrace, even by bad weather! It is necessary to say that the resolutely rock music agrees with wonder with the many artisanal beers served in these places (of which the "wooden leg" with 8°), and which one can find in the other establishment held by the owner: the store of beers Crafts Beer Shop street St Laud. On the walls, nothing but wood giving the appearance of stones or bricks. The Donald's pub also offers blind tests, aperitif concerts and DJs - Red Pants and Black suits! - who regularly come to set the mood.

The Joker's Pub is (we take a deep breath): a formidable panel of rock stars on the wall, cocktails and shooters in the spirit of the place (the Mano Negra, the Nirvana...), a large selection of beers often renewed, a nice choice of wines, a nice boss and waiters, a coveted terrace, a joyful and heterogeneous clientele, a back room hosting the best of rock, punk, hip-hop, folk, electro, but also short films or improvisation theater, without forgetting the broadcasting of matches on a giant screen... It's pulsating!

We can never thank Vincent Salvat, the former owner of T'es Rock Coco, enough for having had the idea to open in 2015 this magnificent guinguette which was cruelly missing on the banks of the Maine! From April to September, this large bar all in wood and its beautiful terrace offer not only a magnificent view of the left bank of the city but also everything you can dream of in the beautiful days in such a place: a restaurant part at lunchtime (new since summer 2017), based on fresh and local products, snacking in the evening (tapas, homemade fries, plates of cold cuts or cheese...), there is also a vegetarian formula. The most, the numerous events going from concerts, to electro parties and even dances! There is something for all tastes and all ages. This establishment has become a must in Angers as soon as the first rays of sunshine arrive. If you are looking for a heterogeneous place where the atmosphere is bucolic, you are at the right place. Note that on the bar side, each glass is consigned, in order to make everyone responsible. By the way, what do we drink at the Heron? Fruit juices, sodas, but also excellent organic and (or) local wines as well as Belgian, Breton, German beers... Finally, on Sundays, what could be better for the party-goers of the day before than a brunch formula until 3pm!

Laurent and Jade have teamed up to open this new wine bar, very clean, with a slightly industrial style, with its large exposed pipes, concrete wall and raw wood cuts. The slate wall gives the place a more authentic character, especially since coins are cleverly stuck there (apparently, a tradition on the banks of the Loire: a falling piece is an alert because the ground is too loose). Speaking of floors, take a look in the middle of the room: a transparent slab allows you to see the cellar. And there are bottles, from all over the world, except for rosé, which is often the unloved wine bar! Our two bosses are fine connoisseurs, do not hesitate, therefore, to let themselves be advised, they master grape varieties and appellations at their fingertips.

A little bit of Corsica on the side, good wines in the glasses, here is an address that we like! On the Place Châteauneuf, this bar owned by the Ettori family will suit wine lovers, but also beer and cocktail lovers. The bar unfolds all in length, under the tufa stone which gives it its charm. In this cosy cocoon, the welcome is warm and the service at the top for a convivial or festive moment. One comes there sometimes for events (DJ set for example), but especially to discover beautiful things to taste, with a splendid sight on the terrace on the Charlemagne Tower and the place Châteauneuf, pedestrian since five years, for the biggest pleasure of the customers.

One of France's finest arthouse cinemas! With 7 screens housed in two buildings facing each other on both sides of rue Jeanne-Moreau, the cinema's programming is extremely rich. We don't rely on blockbusters to fill up our audiences. Foreign films are shown in subtitled V.O., and previews with actors and filmmakers are numerous, as are retrospectives and thematic cycles ("Cult Plans", Spanish, Italian, German, English-language film weeks...).

The address of the cinephiles and for good reason: here is the biggest art house cinema in Europe with 7 comfortable rooms. On the screen, a quality program, documentaries, and films for the general public, in subtitled V.O. For film lovers: previews and meetings with directors, a free access library and festivals (Désirs Désir, Viva il Cinema...). A must: the Studio Night in June to watch great classics on the "black screen of our sleepless night". The cafeteria will treat you to home-made and cheap products.

It's one of those bars that's not in Old Tours, but it's well worth the detour. Not far from the train station, Franck celebrates the love of beer. With him, you'll discover real gems from Belgium and beyond. A dozen draught beers with regular new releases, over 400 beers on the menu, and always sound advice will help you find the perfect beverage. The quiet terrace, billiards table, big screen and warm ambience of the dining room provide a convivial setting for this tasting experience.

This essential place of the Angevin cultural heritage celebrated in 2021 its 150 years. An Italian-style theater, topped by a dome painted by Jules-Eugène Lenepveu, with a vast auditorium seating 728. One comes here to attend classical music concerts but also classical and modern opera. There are also readings, one-man and one-woman shows, as well as comic and dramatic plays. Finally, note that exhibitions are also organized all year round on the first floor.

La Cour's strong point? Well... its courtyard, of course! Sheltered and planted, it's a real haven of tranquillity! The rest of the place, which also serves as a restaurant and weekend brunch, also stands out from the hustle and bustle of the noisier bars on Rue Saint-Laud. The clientele? Mostly thirty-somethings and forty-somethings, who come to enjoy an afterwork in a tastefully decorated setting, with a discreet musical backdrop. The menu features a dozen draught beers, plus an honest selection of wines and cocktails.

Tours-sur-Loire has become a summer must for tourists and Tourangeaux. This ephemeral bar installed at the water's edge expands from season to season. From May to September, three spaces are installed on the quays: the "historical" guinguette, west of the Wilson bridge, with its concerts and various animations. On the east side of the bridge, Chez Dupont offers a retro and calm atmosphere. On the other side of the bridge, the Beach, where calm and nature reign supreme. With family, friends, for a drink or an animation, everything is possible!

This place is a must during the summer season. Located on the banks of the Maine river, the view is magnificent: on one side the river and the castle, on the other side the Verdun bridge by which to reach the city. A warm atmosphere and impeccable service await you, with friends or family. Whether you choose a local wine, an exotic cocktail or a Viennese coffee, the quality is there. Numerous events (concerts, animations...) are also organized during the summer. The perfect place, finally, to taste the softness of Anjou!

Why not visit the city in an original way? La Chasse au TrésOrléans has designed original tours in the form of treasure hunts and outdoor escape games to uncover the mysteries and secrets of the city of Orleans. The routes are suitable for both adult and children groups, so that everyone can find something to do! You will not remain insensitive to the preserved charms of the city, including a unique panorama at the end of the tour, not accessible to the general public. To discover the treasures of Orléans in a different way!

Beurre Noisette is so named because pastry chef Clémence's favorite cake calls for hazelnut butter! This cake, the mainstay of the house, is the financier. Here, pastries are homemade from the heart. She bakes flavors that go very well together, such as pepper and chocolate, but also tries out amazing combinations of tastes, notably in a lemon-hazelnut tart. Brunch is now served every day, with a special offer for children on Wednesdays. We love the sourdough toast and shakshuka. We love them.

Locked in a room with your team, will you be able to get out before the time limit? Escape Yourself was one of the first escape games to open in Tours, in the heart of the city. The universes are varied and regularly renewed, but the principle remains the same: in teams of three to eight players, you will have to find clues, reconstruct codes and solve puzzles to get out before the end of the timer. A good plan for treasure hunting and puzzle lovers. The little extra: a group photo at the end of your adventure.

Are you suddenly craving a hearty, comforting brunch? Need a quick coffee break after a day of wandering? Look no further than But First, Coffee! The friendly, smiling team will be delighted to welcome you and treat you to their famous coffee and their many sweet and savoury treats, all homemade with passion. The children's play area is just one more feature to ensure you have a great time! Go for it!

Set in a magnificent late ^17th-century mansion with a stone staircase, you'll enjoy a moment of relaxation, seated comfortably in one of the welcoming, beautifully decorated rooms or, in fine weather, on the terrace. On the menu, you'll find a range of cocktails, including the Mai Tai or the Ron con Barba, subtle variations on amber rum; a selection of colorful mojitos and mocktails, as well as a fine wine list and draught beers, all accompanied by generous aperitif boards.

A successful bet for Nicolas and Nadège! The two managers of this wine bar like no other have indeed chosen a change of career and region to embark on the Bibovino adventure. The concept? The sale of wines in cubes, and a small homemade restaurant. Hot toasts and big salads as well as generous aperitif boards accompany a nice selection of wines. On the menu, you will find reds, whites and rosés offered by the glass for a tasting at the table, with the couple's advice. A good way to make your choice before buying a cubi. For Nicolas, the cubi format can only be seductive: your 3 liters can be kept for several weeks after opening without being altered... so no more waste for your favorite wines!
