Fun and entertainment Rhônes-Alpes

The Chaplin cinema in Rive-de-Gier is equipped with 265 seats, including a balcony accessible to disabled guests. The second room of 98 seats is air conditioned but not accessible to disabled guests. To see blockbusters, this rather family cinema is more affordable than the Saint Etienne multiplexes. Programs favor great movies. A good reason not to deprive and spend a very good time in a dark room with family or friends. Children's films are provided during school holidays.

When was the last time you laughed at a show? Head for the Complexe, where you'll be looked after by a smiling team. Here, the show begins before the show, with a glass of sangria and a few tapas. You can eat, drink, chat and even fizz while waiting for the show to start, whether you're in the upstairs or downstairs room. Excellent programming with a strong comedic bent, to be followed on the Complexe website. Just one word of advice: make sure you book in advance, especially on weekends, as the Lyonnais really appreciate this venue. Every Saturday evening, stand-up at the Complexe Comedy Club.

In the same vein as the famous Boui-Boui, this café-theater under the direction of Stéphane Casez is in a way the cousin of the Croix-Rousse. Opened more than 10 years ago in a former bakery on the plateau, the Rideau Rouge has a small air-conditioned room where people like to come with friends to see a wide variety of shows, happily mixing 100% Lyon comedies and prestigious headliners. The Rideau Rouge has teamed up with the neighboring Café de la Soie to offer complete evenings of dinner and show with an all-inclusive formula. When the Red Curtain rises on the Croix-Rousse, laughter is guaranteed between friends.

Place Sathonay is one of our favourite spots to take a cool break in summer. An air of Provence blows under the big trees and the sheltered terrace of this tea room/glacier/pastry shop makes us enjoy it with discretion and greediness. On the tip of your tongue, it's an address to share to enjoy homemade products: ice creams and sorbets inspired by flavours from here and elsewhere, with creations that never fail to amaze us. Crazy ice cream sundaes. Other pleasures to savour, pastries and other bugnes in season, always made on site. Snack break, crêpes, pancakes and brunch in the same spirit of freshness and quality.

Before trying your luck, you should appreciate the opportunity to enter the Evian Casino. An exceptional location facing the lake on a quay that bears the name of the Baron de Blonay, who opened the first Evian casino in 1864 in his castle. The current building dates from 1911, designed by the architect J.A. Hebrard in a masterful Art Nouveau style. Today, the Casino imposes its generous forms, shining with a thousand lights at nightfall. 225 slot machines. The Salon des Jeux de Table is a cozy, designer setting. Always a winner at the Evian Casino.

A festive place to try your hand at the jackpot, or simply to enjoy the atmosphere and entertainment. A world that revolves around gambling, with 70 slot machines, electronic roulette and electronic blackjack, as well as traditional games with English roulette and blackjack tables. A world that extends beyond gaming, with the Gallery Bar, exhibitions, a cosy restaurant and the Le Rendez-Vous nightclub to extend the evening. Car simulators for a different kind of fun.

Built by the renowned architect Sir Norman Foster, the Zenith of Saint-Etienne is one of the largest of its kind in terms of capacity in the region. The building can accommodate up to 7,200 spectators, including 5,400 seated. Every year, this establishment organises around sixty events: concerts and musicals, comedy, sports events, fashion shows... The programming is of quality, and many French and international artists come here to perform. The large car parks nearby are completely free and allow visitors to avoid any parking problems in advance!

If you think that a good bar, is a place where to redo the world among friends, without being obliged to ruin in consumption, then L'Apostrophe will ring you somewhere. Let us say it right now: the plant is more than approximate. But the atmosphere is quiet. We hear about it. Customers are a mix of used and strategy games. Lyon's go club has been elected here and the go stones go out of the cupboards on Thursday evening, from 20 h 30 until marre and Saturday from 16 pm. By the price of the alléché pressure, the students can get there easily on the weekend. Pressure, quite rightly, can rise to many. The boss is rather inclined to play, without being asked, the game of long evenings portninwak.

The end of the day will be more enjoyable if you spend it at the Monkey Club. Destination cocktails and good humor near the town hall, the perfect address to take your mind off things. A trip to the tropics with a small terrace, a rarity in Lyon's cocktail bar scene. Depending on your tastes and mood, the expert bartenders suggest prescriptions that vary according to the season, from Red Hot Chili Pepper, with a nice twist on Bloody Mary, to fruity Bissap Asap, not forgetting a good choice of gin and tonics, specialties of the house. Warm, hushed ambience under the vaulted ceiling, smiling service at the bar or in comfortable club armchairs from an adorable team. A few nibbles.

Before you pass on, let's have a good Mise en bière! The place to be for true beer lovers by Fleurs du Malt enthusiasts. More than just a stopover on the quayside of thirst, it's the best destination for a good night out. 20 regularly changing tastings (all tastings are mobile) and 150 bottles from around the world. Expert advice from beer experts who share their discoveries. Excellent rock metal sound... Tasting boards. Treat yourself to a night out with the Vikings (private room available). Best beer bar in Lyon.

Be on stage, jump into the pit, vibrate to the sound of the Brise-Glace d'Annecy. On the lakeside, just a 10-minute walk from the town center, this contemporary music venue is housed in a superb 1,500^m2 glass cube. Le Brise-Glace is the place to catch the zeitgeist, the wind of today's music, with a crazy program. Two concert halls and studios make this a real place to live, open to all audiences, even the youngest, who benefit from specially adapted programming. Whether you're into hip-hop, electro, rock or folk, you'll never be disappointed, and you'll be sure to have a great time! Beautiful evenings to amplify our happiness.

It's the SMAC 07, the Ardèche's contemporary music scene. This Presqu'île is more than just a concert hall. A site steeped in history - a patronage hall in the early 20th^century , then a parish cinema (1920-1970) - La Presqu'île opened its doors in 2000. With its 200 seats, it's a very convivial cultural venue that plays on the proximity between audience and artists. Here, you'll discover lively shows and a magical setting. You can consult the program on the website.

Soda, the first bar that made us want to drink cocktails before anyone else. At La Martinière, Soda features a team of bartenders who know how to mix! A chic, glamorous atmosphere, not only for a drink, but also for listening to the excellent musical program. Let's take a look at the cocktail menu and order, according to your mood (the menu changes frequently), with classic house twists such as a dangerous Zombie (2 glasses maximum), a Supanova version of the mojito or a fruity Soul Sista. New this year, you can drop by the bar on Tuesdays to create your very own cocktail (with the help of the team). The benchmark.

Of course, we do not forget the only multiplex in the hyper-centre, in the heart of the peninsula, in two steps from Bellecour, with its 10 renovated rooms and 2 120 squares. A bit expensive, but we are in the multiplexes rates and all their benefits. Start with comfortable armchairs, giant screens, a digital Dolby sound (Atmos in a room), and the rooms are accessible for people with reduced mobility and have special equipment for people with hearing disabilities. Surmounted by a belfry adorned with its famous rooster, very rare example of Art Deco style in Lyon, it is an emblem of the cinema in the city of the Light brothers.

Cat lovers, this place is made for you! In a cosy lounge, you can enjoy a hot chocolate while caressing a little kitty? A concept born in Japan, cat bars are a dazzling success. The reason? The cat is a soothing animal, because of the way we look at it and the purring it gives us when we pet it. At Bénédicte Marabita, you can enjoy the company of cats over a drink, and even adopt one! Savory pies, wraps, soups and homemade desserts will accompany your lunch break.

As a self-respecting Irish tavern, the James Beer House welcomes you in English, and serves 17 draught beers and more than twenty local and craft beers, but not only, in bottles. Billiards and darts are available for the amateurs. Aperitif boards.

Are you looking for a fun activity to do with family or friends without being locked in a room? Think about the outdoor escape game. You book your time online and download an application that will guide you through the game. An old grimoire was found during the renovation of the Hôtel-Dieu. It contains 3 riddles that have never been solved! The route goes through shady streets which is ideal in summer but it also takes you through the grandiose scenery of one of the most beautiful buildings of the peninsula of Lyon.

The Star Ferry, a tribute to a ferry sailing on the side of Hong Kong. On Quais du Rhône, the Star Ferry is typically a seasonal address, opening with the sun, closing with the first cold and big storms in summer. From the very first sunny days, beer flows like water in what it's agreed to call a beer garden, with a choice of 80 bottled beers and no less than 12 draught ones! A mandatory terrace to sit and enjoy the homemade specialty, burgers. Sandwiches that are themed, even exotic, composed of honourable ingredients, but with meat always overcooked to our taste. Although the fries are crispy to eat, chewing the burger can be complicated. Come on, take a beer to get it through… No desserts, except ice-creams. At the end of the day, the burger/beer comes back at about twenty euros, for a hardly adequate quality and a service that is extended (it's not easy to satisfy the desires of the entire terrace on a summer evening) but remains smiling. A half-tone address that allows you to spend pleasant moments on the banks of the Rhône.

L'Arbre à Bières is much more than just a restaurant, it's a real bar dedicated to beer, and has become a must for night owls in search of a good froth and a tasty flammekueche. The selection of local craft beers is impressive, but enthusiasts can also indulge in beverages from faraway lands thanks to a quality selection. The atmosphere is always pleasant, and the team is always on hand to help. A special highlight is the wide range of draught beers on offer.

Espace Gerson, a name that sounds like an evidence when you think "shows" in Lyon. More than 30 years of existence for a room of 120 seats and stands with an unobstructed view on the stage, a very nice associative bar. An easily accessible stage in the old town of Lyon where about fifty comedy shows are usually performed every year. The Espace Gerson is a must of the Lyon's theater-café with the Plateaux de Gerson and young comedians who come to present a part of their show the last Mondays of each month.

Few major cities can enjoy such a multiplex, 10 super-equipped rooms and nearly 3,000 seats in the city center. The Pathé Chavant, in which the escalators must not be lost to the room number… is therefore entirely dedicated to films on the day poster with rooms made for the great show. Full fare tickets, numerous discounts and a Pass Pass that allows unlimited access to all sessions! That said, we can also discover more intimate films in front of the front and be pleasantly surprised.

It's the galleon of thirsty young pirates. If you want to frequent this place, beware of claustrophobia. The place resembles a huge, long cellar, obviously without any openings, and it's abundantly frequented by adorable sailors of all stripes. The main thing, though, is that you're never stuck in the bilge with all the good stuff coming out of the well-filled barrels! It's a place where you can drink a wide variety of flavored rums, real planters and a great many shooters: we counted over fifty of them... But by the end, we weren't sure! All aboard, without moderation, for a wonderful evening sailing the waves.

A real bonbonnière all dressed in pink. A Chardon Doré that has been a must for more than 140 years. Of course, the owners have changed, but the Todeschini family took over the torch in 1993, perpetuating the best of the gourmet tradition. If you enjoy the famous Coque de Noix de Grenoble, a house specialty filled with beautiful surprises, and the walnut cake, you must savor the delicious ice cream, comfortably installed on the terrace of the Jardin de Ville or in a cozy room. In the tea room, a collection of pastries for all desires. The pleasure of cakes, while we already want to imagine the summer on the terrace.

Aix-les-Bains would become the city of cinema? This beautiful multiplex, a stone's throw from the lake, is attractive. Free parking, a well-equipped complex with giant screens, digital sound and comfortable seats in the eight rooms; A complex where you can expect to wait by playing some video games or sipping sweets. All exits and even previews. Possibility of a movie and mcdonalds formula right next door.

Created in 1904, the course, slightly hilly, is located between lake and mountain. The majestic trees of various species, combined with water hazards and white sand bunkers, make it a very pleasant course to the eye but very technical. Particularly noteworthy is hole 10, a long par 5 of 525 meters with a slight dog-leg right, difficult because of its slope and a green with several plateaus whose attack is blind. Hole n° 15 is a magnificent par 3 of 149 meters, very spectacular with a plunging view on the lake of Geneva.

A wine cellar where you can enjoy an aperitif dinner - amazing cuisine by a real chef who concocts delicious dishes to share... - or spend an evening with friends. With a wine list worthy of connoisseurs, La Cave serves wines by the glass - over 40 wines by the glass, with grands crus regularly opened - or offers even rarer bottles (around 500 references), with a good Savoy wine or a grand cru from Burgundy, not forgetting bubbles and spirits, around a table well sheltered from passers-by on rue du Pâquier, a stone's throw from the lake. As for the owners, they set the tone with all their energy and offbeat humor. Concerts some evenings.

The haunt of many an annécien.ne.s since 1977. An unusual place, since it's right in the heart of the old town's most touristy district, the one to be avoided at all costs in the high summer season, while preserving an "island" of tranquillity for the locals who like to take refuge here. If you're staying in Annecy, this is the place to come for a coffee croissant as the shadows stretch over the canal and terrace. All the poetry of Annecy. In a room full of character, don't hesitate to take advantage of the comics and books on offer. Exhibitions of objects, photographs, paintings and sculptures. A place apart.

Whoever does not know Docks 40 is not a Lyon inhabitant. At the forefront of district of Confluence, the Docks is part of these institutions that make the link between the activity of the day - large companies and institutions are established in the immediate vicinity - and the night life. Thus, Docks 40, which is constantly evolving, is also pleasant at the end of the day for a drink on a magnificent terrace facing the Saône in an ultra-contemporary urban setting, than during the evening for another drink in a more contemporary, more modern elegant setting. At Docks, we always feel good, calm (in the evening, the strict selection at the entrance makes it possible not to be disturbed, and in good company to drink or empty a bottle of champagne between friends while listening to good music with DJ Budd'ha (animator of 16/20 on Radio space) and many events, including the coming of the best DJs. A festive place where you can stop at any time of the day, Docks caters every desire.

Lulu has set up shop at Jean Macé. Lulu does us so much good, even more so in these times of "crises" in the plural, with its program of comedies full of madness to share. A colorful, cheerful theater, in the image of Renaud Gairard, the reopened head acrobat who decided to bring these walls back to life with a beautiful 180-seat auditorium and a table to enjoy along with the audience's comments. A place dedicated to comedy and laughter, to revivals of classic texts and to the most unusual creations, can only be salutary at a time when the performing arts need our support. Let's have fun with Lulu!

According to our French taste, Starbucks does not always offer the "best coffee in the world" and we will stubbornly continue to defend the "Café Comptoir", the "little black" in the morning with the unequalled taste when shared with friends. Because can we really share in Wi-Fi mode behind your laptop, even on a comfortable seat? It's up to you. For the rest, it's possible to fall for the craft coffees that you can personalize by adding some "extras" which also incur some additional charges. Futé must admit a weak for the Macchiato Caramel for the long winter days. In summer, we are tempted by the Frappuccino collection with always the possibility to personalize our cold drink. The other reason for falling is the by-products, especially, the famous Lyonese tumbler.

The Palace of the Movies? Faced with the 7 naves across the Allées, this small complex offers five rooms, including one equipped with Dolby Digital sound, programming the latest news from international (i. e. American) cinema and French Public cinema. His answering machine informs about the films in the poster. Its situation is an advantage: Easy parking, bars and restaurants nearby. For a full evening!

The Windsor is a historic figure in the resort, as it was the very first bar in the village to open over 20 years ago! Taken over by the adorable Lucas, Le Windsor continues on a royal road of great conviviality. A ceiling of tickets from all over the world, a warm atmosphere all day long, a rocking ambience and good sound to our ears, but what are we drinking? Beer, of course! The owner is an enthusiast who offers 9 draught beers and a fine selection of bottles not found everywhere. An address to be crowned.

A superb venue, a blend of elegance in the heart of the spa and modernity with a very up-to-date leisure and dining area. On the gaming side, 135 slot machines and numerous in-house jackpots to be won. And if it's your first time in this world, don't hesitate to ask a member of staff for help - they're so friendly. The table games room is magnificent. Seminars and privatizations can be organized with tailor-made formulas for your events. No limits to pleasure at Joa.

«At the beginning was beer»: the tone is given in the 7 ^th establishment of the open berthom in France - they are a fortnight - and present in Grenoble for over 10 years now, all in a deciduous decoration adorned with logs and sown with high stools. The choice of 8 pressures on the drum (the Pils, but also the Maredsous or the sweet Faro) extends into bottles with a choice to turn the head for many reasons, abbeys (Orval, Saint Bernardus or Chimay), gueups and lambs to cassis or raspberry, not to mention the famous Cuvée of Trolls, Carolus or Chouffe. All to try with moderation of course! The Duvel, unpasteurized and high fermentation, remains the must of this village with beers.

The Six Rex, located in the city center on a pedestrian street, has 6 rooms including one in its THX and four stereo Dolby, for a total of a thousand chairs. Five rooms are accessible for disabled people. You can see all the latest news, even the famous 3 D movies equipped with special glasses. A nearby cinema that allows us not to take the car to go to huge complexes on the periphery, offering us a beautiful quality of image and sound. A truly nice cinema in the heart of the city.

An ultramodern complex, ideally located in the international city on the edge of the Tête d'Or Park. You can also take a pleasant walk followed by a canvas. Some 3 000 places in 14 fully equipped rooms. Premières, major national and international outings, VOST and VF, meetings for children. A system that makes it possible not to queue at the cashier, and a restoration space. For the technical aspect: its DTS or Dolby stereo depending on the rooms. Friendly catering offer in the immediate vicinity for all tastes, especially in the cinema lobby with a modern brew.

Get some height and have some fun trying to win some money! A casino that takes you out into the fresh air and, while it won't fill your pockets every time, it will fill your lungs with fresh air. Lovers of games - 72 slot machines, 2 blackjack tables and 8 electronic roulette wheels - really appreciate this unusual place, with its very futuristic architecture, combining wood and Hauteville stone in a contemporary setting. Restaurant Le Lodge for a contemporary cuisine revisiting the culinary tradition. Dinner show and musical entertainment.

An Italian theatre built at the end of the 2002 th century, he underwent numerous destruction and renovations, but the last works, from 1997 to, made it all its lustre. Classic, contemporary, circus, dance… The theatre of Bourg-en-Bresse offers varied programming and participates in the creation by hosting artists in residence. An associative scene for the puppet and the theatre of objects since 1 August 2008, he also organizes a biennial on the occasion of the European puppet week in February.
The theatre of Bourg is also concerts in Ainterexpo and exhibitions.

In the Escape Games sector - these play rooms in "live" with the principle of escaping from a room in less than 60 minutes - Team Break is a precursor, since the "rooms" (this is what you need to call the coins) opened their doors (finally, how to speak) in March 2015. A Escape Game created in Paris that quickly took in Lyon, with a successful installation in this corner of the 6 ^th arrondissement near the Brotteaux and Cours Lafayette. Probably not the largest of the Escapes in Lyon, but the two missions you can choose will cause a nice rise in adrenaline in your veins. At Team Break, who has been able to invent its own universe - close to the BD - with nasty méchants names, participants will need to save the world either by defusing a thermo bomb trapped in a bunker or by creating an antidote to the highly contagious Zombie virus that risks invading the world. Adventures to share with family or friends to live together intense moments.

Closed is an escape game that takes you to several rooms, also called rooms, to live life-size and immersive adventures. Several themes are proposed to the participants: "Escape if you can", where you will have to escape from a cell in order to prove your innocence, "Orion", a space adventure worthy of Star Wars, "The Missing", where you will have to find Mary in the house of a voodoo priestess, or "Dr. Kwan's Asylum", where you will have to escape from a disused psychiatric hospital located in North Korea

Hopper rhymes with beer. And that's just as well, because this handsome bar at the Saxe-Gambetta crossroads, conveniently located just off the metro, has all the hallmarks of a brewery and pub, with its decor of copper pipes, vats and graffiti. It's a cosy place to enjoy one of the 18 draught beers or the 20 or so bottled beers that take you on a journey around the globe. Home-made smoothies and pressed juices to quench your thirst without alcohol. Don't drink on an empty stomach: pizzas, salads, burgers, croque-monsieur with truffled ham, seasonal platters and daily specials. An urban refuge where you can recharge your batteries.

A tea salon, a charming coffee bar where all the generations find themselves around the two women owners of the places. A very nice atmosphere to enjoy a tea in the world, a hot drink by devisant everything, nothing or society. You can also buy tea, coffee, accessories. A small address that is worth a stop, a pause to share precious time.

Mary's Coffee Shop offers coffees roasted by Cafés Folliet, syrups with natural flavors made in Chambéry or home-made muffins. Apart from these essentials, you will of course find many other hot or cold drinks. In case of small hunger, in addition to the muffins, you will also be able to benefit from a broad card of sweet delights. The success of this establishment continues with regular openings in the city. In Monthieu, an automatic ordering and payment system allows to limit the queues.

On the program: German humor (yes, there is such a thing), German tapas (always better than English ones) and German-loving cocktails. Without doubt the bar with the most offbeat ambience, which can bring tears of joy to our eyes with its communication and cocktails that don't get drunk anywhere else. It has to be said that the cheerful team - re-titled La Mannschaft - unearths ingredients that are as good as they are surprising. Guaranteed sausages, craft beers, a friendly atmosphere and optional Lederhosen. Ein Prosit! Drink up.

Lyon's first private theater, launched on January 17, 1980, and run by Pascal Héritier and Bruno Davanzo. The current venue on avenue de Saxe can accommodate 371 spectators between two confinements, and is often sold out. Audiences who book their seats at the Théâtre de la Tête d'Or well in advance know they're in for a good laugh, with plenty of misunderstandings and enthusiastic actors - often stage stars. The venue specializes in boulevard comedy and vaudeville, not forgetting the chansonniers.

While we await the hypothetical reopening of a VTG castelet (not to be confused with a fast train) at the GHD (we like to leave you in the lurch when it comes to initials), back to square one at the Parc de la Tête d'Or, where it all began for this company over 75 years ago. Guignol is a monument to Lyon's heritage, with its famous puppets and colorful characters. A Lyonnais tradition to be respected by all ages, as the show offers different levels of interpretation, not all of them innocent... Guignol, it's so good!

The Aragon area is an associative cultural area affiliated with the Federation of Houses for All and DJC. It displays a variety of programming to entertain a wide audience. Dance, theatre, clowns, songs or puppets, it is open to everyone, young and younger. The Aragon area also offers cultural activities in the form of internships for the Internet, photography, cinema or theatre.

Le Hasard does things well. An address that has become a happy institution in the heart of the old town, set in a pedestrian square. It's a lively place to meet at the end of the day, for all generations, and in the evening, for sharing. On sunny summer afternoons, the terrace - sheltered in winter - is packed. And in the evening, you can huddle inside with a motley clientele, just like the town itself, to enjoy a good beer from a wide selection of beers from Belgium and elsewhere. Plus: friendly, efficient, impeccable service. An address that is anything but hazardous.

Room classified art and trial, very good canvas always in perspective, all the exits that make them talk about them, cool rates (reduced for members to the Malraux), VO for foreign films. The rooms are equipped with a balcony and a terrace.

For more than 25 years in Grenoble, the Laser Game continues to evolve to make us spend exciting moments. The high-end equipment is in V3 version with new generation LGE traps. Tackled and equipped with harmless guns, we have fun shooting at each other with great precision as well as at moving targets in the two labyrinths on several levels (air-conditioned is important). The atmosphere quickly becomes stressful and you get caught up in the game by hiding or developing team tactics. Exceptional playing conditions to execute, and, the word is right, its opponents according to its mode of play. Possibility to play in virtual reality.
