Fun and entertainment Causses et Cévennes

Zeste is a nice address in Millau, a place to go in the city, where you can enjoy exquisite delicacies at any time of the day or have a lunch. In this tea room-pastry shop-small restaurant, Arielle, who trained at the famous Lenôtre, prepares everything herself: from the toast, pasta or full plates offered at lunchtime to the pastries, which some people consider the best in Millau! The millefeuille or the caramel tart are well worth the service that some people find a little long.

One feels immediately at home in this small tea room. Evelyne Fournier treats us with her homemade cakes, accompanied by delicious teas, of which there is a vast choice. For lunch, she offers us a formula of savory treats, mostly organic or vegetarian in one plate, with among others a carrot and cumin cake, gluten-free forgotten vegetable pies or a cream of market vegetables, a broccoli chestnut clafoutis. But everything depends on the season and everything is so good that the salon is quickly full.

Bowling d'Alès is packed with fun and entertaining activities for all ages. Whether you're looking for a drink in good company around a pool table or bowling alley, or an experienced bowler looking for new experiences, this is the place to be! On the premises, you'll also find a bar and a restaurant at mini prices, perfect for a bite to eat between games. Note that the address also organizes private events on request (birthdays, bachelor parties...).

This pub-restaurant is the undisputed place to be for those who love atmosphere and friendly food. In summer, you can sit on the large terrace, where you will be offered a selection of draught beers as well as mousses to sip from the bottle. To accompany their tasting, the owner offers a brasserie formula with the best specialities from Lozère cooked with local products: meat from Aubrac - charcuterie or cheese boards, local salads, hamburgers, artisanal ice cream from Aveyron...

Le Cratère, located in the heart of the city, is Alès' largest concert hall, seating 800. Comedians, concerts, plays, dance, screenings during the film festival... As a national stage, the Cratère hosts top-notch contemporary French and European shows, and also gives pride of place to local artists. The institution also presents Cratère Espace, an itinerant program covering 23 towns in the region, and has created Cratère Surface, a street art festival that is a must-see in June.

An activity that has been on the upswing for some time now, "escape games" are increasingly appealing to young and old alike. The Alès escape game was born at the end of 2016, and it hasn't stopped attracting people. The "rooms", themed enigma spaces, can be discovered by several people with friends or family. Pirates, the Vietnam War and Sherlock Holmes are just some of the themes of the Alès space. You can have fun with your family or friends at low prices, while enjoying an out-of-the-ordinary experience. In a word, it's a must-see!

While Cinéplanet is a large-scale cinema offering the best films of the moment, with state-of-the-art technology, this eight-screen multiplex stands out for its emphasis on auteur films, documentaries and a diversity of original events. These include special screenings with engaging debates, meetings with film-makers, ciné-danse with live performances, night screenings... The major Itinérances festival is also held here, as well as Ciné Boucan, weeks dedicated to international cinema: a cinema for all tastes!

Formerly a spinning mill built in 1873, it has now become an attractive venue for a wide variety of artistic events.

With its small bar, La Filature promises cultural outings that are sophisticated, entertaining and to suit all tastes.

L'Embuscaf defines itself as a snack-biblio-bar. The doors of this atypical establishment are open for a coffee, a book or a quick bite to eat. At lunchtime, the menu is built around "simple, sure things, made with produce from local market gardeners and breeders": kale, cep and cantal quiche; butternut and roast sweet potato quiche; onion soup; lentil or Jerusalem artichoke velouté; American-style coleslaw; cookie; rhubarb cake; chestnut moelleux...

Doriane runs this great Mendois coffee-shop opposite the Post Office. Above all, she likes to please with old-fashioned music, immersing you in the Marvel universe. In a setting worthy of the USA, this energetic ex-gendarme serves coffees and other gourmet beverages, including bubble tea and chai spice latte. Doriane also sets the table, with a menu of bagels, hot dogs, desserts and snacks, including the highly original Bubble Waffle (sweet or savoury), as well as a takeaway or eat-in menu.

Elsa's address, L'Abracada Bar, is a charming place where life is good. In this atypical tavern, whose terrace offers a unique panorama of the river and the azure, you'll have access to a wide range of wines, beers and aperitifs, all regional! How does it work?

The cinema is also part of the party with the excellent programming of cinema of Cinéco Cévennes, the 2nd Sundays of the month.

Its frontage has a 1930s look and its faithful clientele lets the fashions pass without being moved by anything. If José Bové particularly likes this address, it is because it is a place of debate where everyone has the right to express themselves. Books are available for consultation, to pass the time while swallowing a salad, a croque-monsieur, a piece of leek quiche or a sandwich. An ideal break when visiting the city, not to say an obligatory passage to keep up to date with the latest news from the city of the Glove.

Ideally located in the commercial area of Le Crès, at the exit of the A75, the Bowling de Millau is a must in the city of the Glove. In addition to the eight bowling lanes that stretch under the spotlights, table soccer, pinball machines and billiards allow to diversify the pleasures. The leisure complex also houses a restaurant, whose friendly menu (pizzas, burgers, sausage-aligot, homemade ice creams...) pleases all generations. At the head of the establishment, Serge Gaillard is indeed an attentive boss to all.

This small tearoom on a sloping street in the center of Millau is run with a smile and good humor. Fresh, seasonal produce and regional specialities form the basis of a menu that changes every week: fresh goat's cheese and pesto cheesecake with carrot and orange velouté, naan with curried zucchini cheese, lamb navarin, pea and feta tart, honey and apricot clafoutis... The menu also includes a range of delicious tarts. Desserts follow the same philosophy, with homemade goodness and lots of gourmet goodness.

At 4pm, cookies, cupcakes, cheesecakes, apple pies and other English pastries. At noon, bagels, sandwiches and wraps. As for drinks, it's a festival of delicacies. All we can tell you is that Nelly doesn't complain about whipped cream! We recommend the lattella and roasted hazelnut syrup, ristretto, whipped cream, caramelized pecans with salted butter...

Prescilla went back to school and took her CAP pastry diploma as an independent candidate to open this cosy, elegant tearoom in Millau town center. The menu at Les Gourmandises de Jules, named after her son, includes homemade cakes, tarts and cookies, accompanied by a good cup of coffee, organic tea, lemonade or homemade fruit juice. At lunchtime, the menu is simple, but as tasty as it is affordable: salad, buddha bowl and main course (hake with mushroom and cream sauce...).

After studying in Montpellier and living in Ajaccio for a while, Magalie came back home, determined to open her coffee shop in Saint-Jean-du-Bruel. Since June 2020, the young woman, who trained as a barista, has been serving non-alcoholic cocktails and espresso-based coffee drinks to the people of the village and to tourists. At lunchtime, she serves food in this small business that she wanted to reflect her image: optimistic and sparkling. A few colourful tables, set up on the porch, allow you to taste salads, sandwiches or nicely elaborated boards.
