Fun and entertainment Châteaux de la Loire

This is an address not to be missed for lovers of natural wines and craft beers. This is indeed the specialty of this bar opened in 2019. Behind the counter, the owner makes it a point of honor to offer products made with the love of nature and work well done. The menu features a fine selection of natural wines from Touraine and elsewhere, as well as craft beers and soft drinks. It is not rare that wine growers come to taste their latest creations. All this in a relaxed atmosphere. We hope that summer will be synonymous with the return of small rustic dishes for snacking or lunch.

What type of investigation will you choose? Get out Angers offers five indoor escape rooms with different themes and universes: "Merlin", "The Saloon", "The Hold of Cortez", "The Adoubment - King René's Legacy" and "Quantico" (a police investigation), as well as an outdoor treasure hunt. The originality of the place also lies in the additional proposition of a pleasant games bar, where you can sip a drink while playing one of the board or card games from a selection of over two hundred references.

For the compulsive bruncheurs, it is the address not to be missed since the brunch is proposed à la carte every day of opening between 10 am and 1:30 pm. But that's not all! Generous croque-monsieur, filled pancakes, soup, and of course everything needed for a hearty snack are offered every day. The room with a view of the kitchen gives access to a quiet back terrace, ideal for enjoying pastries, a small lunch dish or a brunch. The selection of teas is varied, and we don't say no to a homemade hot chocolate. A little friendly advice: remember to book for the weekend brunch, as it is very popular and places are limited.

A bar reserved for insiders, or for lunch visitors. Behind a simple and efficient front are hidden nearly 750 wine references, tasting boards and other small dishes. Every lunchtime, the bosses offer wines, in a cellar style, tastings, meals and slates, according to the desires of the customers. The place seems discreet, but it is a recognized address, where quality is at the rendezvous, and friendliness too. White, red, pink or sparkling, for everyday life or major events, it is the right place for wine lovers, and a place where individuals and companies can find gifts in the shape of bottles. Always effective!

Maison Gaspard is a warm and inviting tearoom where you can also enjoy a quick lunch. The menu, simple and based on local produce, changes regularly to follow the seasons (boards to share, tartines, croques, tarts, soups, homemade pastries). Brunches, every first Sunday of the month, are a rendez-vous for gourmets, with quality hot drinks and homemade pastries. Olivier and Stéphanie offer a warm welcome, with a special mention for their mouth-watering hot chocolate.

Do you love bubble teas, coffee and can't say no to the pleasure of a pastry? Welcome to Elephan Tea! This is definitely the place to be for all Angevins who love a little gourmet break. In a spacious setting, freshly renovated to give way to modernity, you'll have the opportunity to savor bubble teas made according to the rules of the art, accompanied by delicious homemade treats, of course! It's the perfect place to unwind after a hard day's work.

François, Sylvain and their cohorts have long dreamed of opening their own cultural and gaming bar. The dream came true in 2019. To offer a bar where you can drink, eat (brunch at weekends) and play. Hot and cold drinks are served, with or without alcohol. In the evening, the kitchen prepares a variety of tapas, from patatas bravas for sharing to burgers for the hungrier. But most of all: we're dipping into the stock of board games on offer! A "game sommelier" will even come and explain the rules to you if you need to. It's your turn to play!

Le Chat Lon de Thé is a beautiful idea, from the head of the sympathetic Sarah and Marylou. In the heart of the Saint-Aubin street, they created a tea room where nice little fur balls are wandering around. What a pleasure to warm up with a hot chocolate or to enjoy a rougail or a croque-monsieur in the ambient purring of little cats. Our two managers have a great pleasure to share the history of their little companions and discuss their respective characters. In partnership with several associations, these cats are available for adoption with a symbolic payment of the pupping and vaccination fees. Beware, a crush happens very quickly!

Café, bar, grocery store, accommodation... it is difficult to summarize LocaLuna as this project is a place for meeting and sharing. This was Lucile Cuvier's ambition for this old stone building, ideally located between Amboise and Chenonceau. In this entirely renovated space, you will find a store of Loire products with more than 300 references. You can do your shopping but also have a meal: drinks and aperitif boards are proposed. A place of life which is animated by exhibitions and concerts. It is necessary to linger there!

Adjacent to the cellar of the same name, take a moment to relax at the bar of La Tonnelle and enjoy the countless bottles ready to be uncorked and savored. With over 1,000 different references in the adjoining cellar, you're sure to find the nectar of your dreams. Wines from all horizons, as well as beers and whiskies, there's something for everyone here. And because we know you're gourmets, the tasting boards, garnished with local produce of course, are the perfect accompaniment. An ideal place to unwind.

Installed in Tours in the summer of 2020, the pink elephant of the Belgian beer Delirium has seduced a young public fond of warm atmospheres, burgers and good beers. In a large room, warm thanks to its red brick style decoration, you can sit at a small or large table to order a drink from an endless list of beers. It is the specialty of the place! Fruity beers (banana, mango, really?), brown, blond, red or amber, the amateurs will have the embarrassment of the choice. Aperitif boards in the evening and generous burgers at lunchtime will delight the gourmets. Be careful! Here, we speak loudly and we drink (in moderation).

Tucked away in a corner of the Place de la Résistance is this haven for craft beer lovers. Beers concocted here or expertly selected from brewers in France and beyond. Since the summer of 2018, the Crafty Brew Pub has offered a vast choice all year round, which you can find your way around thanks to the staff's good advice. Enjoy your beer on the terrace or in one of the large rooms, with a generous board of charcuterie and tapenades. A big screen for match nights, darts tournaments and themed entertainment punctuate the year.

This converted former warehouse is home to two emblematic structures: the renowned Compagnie Off, a spearhead of street arts with an international reputation, and POLAU, Pôle Arts & Urbanisme. Research into urban planning in the broadest sense is carried out here throughout the year. In addition to regular activities, some of which are aimed at an informed public, major events organized by POLAU and Compagnie Off punctuate the life of this atypical venue. Nights of artistic performances, previews or releases from street arts residencies, conferences, participatory urban experiments: if all this arouses your curiosity, head to the website to make sure you don't miss a thing.

In total, no less than 60 puzzles await you in the three rooms of Sologne Escape. You will have one hour to leave the room as a winner. The missions are very well detailed on the site, which indicates the level of difficulty and which ability will be the most solicited: logic, search, collaboration, manipulation... Two of the rooms are linked by the story but can be done separately, they will take you into the mysterious universe of a psychiatric hospital. The third one takes us back to the 1980's to change our present.

A team adventure game inspired by the TV show Fort Boyard, Prison Island offers two activity concepts: a 23-challenge adventure or a Quizz Boxing arena. Form your own team of prisoners and set off to solve the tactical, technical or physical challenges of the 23 prison cells in the allotted time. If you're a fan of blind tests, enter the Quizz Boxing arena and compete on a variety of themes: cinema, history, sports, video games, music... A fun activity to share with friends and family aged 5 and over!

Although a little out of the way from the heart of the city, the CCNT is worth a visit! The National Choreographic Center of Tours, directed since 2012 by the dancer-choreographer Thomas Lebrun, is dedicated to welcoming companies from here and elsewhere for work sessions and public performances. Each year, the CCNT also organizes the Tours d'Horizons festival in June, with various choreographic proposals in theatres of the metropolis and atypical places (museum of fine arts, cloister of the Psalette...). Sweeping the whole range of current contemporary dance, the programming of the festival as well as the hall is aimed at the initiated, but also at neophytes. Our smart recommendation: take advantage of the free "Curious Hours". 30 minutes of dance and 30 minutes of exchange between the public and the artists, an ideal formula to enter this universe! And in two years, we'll be moving to a brand new building in the Casernes district, to take even better advantage of this cultural offer.
