The establishment was taken up by Yohan, owner of the «Panorama» à Aubenas, who adopted the same concept here: concerts, exhibitions, theme cards for wines and beer, fair teas… In a young and relaxed atmosphere, no doubt the "Pirate Moon" will have the same success as the "Panorama" to awaken the nightlife of Privas who asks for this! Check out the concert dates.

The municipal theatre is the symbol of Émile Loubet's golden age. Theatre à la'in neoclassical style, its orientation to the Mistral, outside the walls of the city, and its interior layout had been greatly criticized at the time - 1882 to 1885. After decades of good and loyal services, which have become unfit to receive from the public, this theatre that received the greatest artists of its time is currently closed to the public, at booth by waiting for renovation. But it always marks the urban landscape.

The chapel of the Carmelites, a former hospice renovated by the city, was for a decade the place of residence of the Théâtre du Fust, an international puppet company that recently left Montélimar, (after more than thirty years of presence!) to continue its destiny in Ardèche. Finished the manufacture of puppets, finished shows in the public garden… However, the site, renamed the municipal cultural area of the Carmelites, has not lost its cultural vocation and now hosts several associations on 900 m 2, three floors: Theatre, the Théâtre des Migrateurs, the Mistral Choir, the Adhémar Choir, the association of Literary cafés, the cinema club…

A young concert hall, the auditorium Michel Petrucciani (the name of this famous musician who lived in Montélimar) offers 430 places with good visibility, a beautiful scene from the outset found his place and his audience in the cultural landscape of Montélimar. Indeed, and especially since the closure of the municipal theatre, most of the shows programmed by the Spectacle and Cinema Régie are given in the auditorium. Beautiful theatre programming, songs, lyrical singing, piano, classical music, jazz, contemporary dance, circus arts, programming is diverse.

Like the Pestel at Die, the Eden in Crest or the Ship à Aubenas (only art and test theatre of Ardèche), Les Templar is a cinema of art and trial. So it's not in this room that we should hope to see the last American movie with great violence, chase, weapons and hemoglobin. This friendly cinema is showcasing works by filmmakers from all over the world - in V.O. subtitled, except French! - and organizes debates, meetings, exhibitions. Have welcomed: a special effort towards the young public.

Smart will reveal a secret... For 400 years, the secret of the manufacture of the Chartreuse has been carefully guarded by the monks. This unique liqueur is available in two colours, green and yellow, both suitable for making the best cocktails. The secret? It was the creation in the Caves of the Chartreuse de Voiron, where the end of production at Aiguenoire freed up space and a speakeasy bar. Yes, a speakeasy bar, a "speakesasy", which we were able to test, but which we will not be able to tell you about... The place, in the spirit of the Chartreuse, is fantastic, timeless. Ideal to meet friends and drink cocktails made with Chartreuse.

The theatre is closed three weeks August.

Managed by an association, the academy is open to the practice of non-licensees (reservation strongly recommended).

There are two comfortable rooms managed by the Municipality, two rooms where quality programming is offered. This is where, every year, the International Meetings featuring avant-premiere films, animations around the cinema and short film competitions are held in October.

We can only welcome the fact that obscure rooms open in rural areas, far from the impersonal multiplex of large cities. This is the case in Pélussin with the opening of a cinema at soft prices.

He had to dare and Klara dared! The very kind of initiative that Le Petit Smart supports 100% and is invited to discover with pure pleasure. In a curve of the long ascent that crosses Pélussin, you stop with envy in a tree shade. A different tea salon in the heart of such a village, the gamble is bold, but it must succeed, because it offers so much happiness and good things you can only love. Walls of stone, walls with green anise, parme curtains, violine, small round tables of wrought iron, ground of large wooden slats, the decor is planted. There is the softness of Klara, which advises us among cafés of all walks of life. A very nice card for connoisseurs, teas (no less than 75 varieties) and organic herbal teas to infuse in spring water. We accompany his hot drink of Valrhona Chocolate and take home some of these sweet pleasures by buying a cup, a teapot, coffee and tea so perfumed… In the shade of a tree, there is sun and flavours.

A beautiful idea of cinema, not far from the city of the Light Brothers, which is given by this association of a hundred volunteers living a cinema hall like Smart loves them. Attention, this renovated room has a large 211 seats, its Dolby Digital Suround EX sound, a magnetic loop for the hearing impaired, etc. Besides the big films of the moment, the interest of this room is also in its «alternative» programming with each week, different short films in the first part of the film and the famous CHAT sessions (yesterday Cinema)., from Today and Always), one Tuesday a month, with films in VO. The cinema in Paradiso version as you love it.

A 383-seat auditorium and a 600 m 2 multipurpose hall make up the venue for concerts, cinemas and shows of large Parisian rooms on giant screen.

On the little square opposite the church, this tea room, beautifully decorated with vintage bric-a-brac, offers excellent teas, as well as a choice of coffees and other beverages. In winter, it's a delight with its cosy room and muffled atmosphere, and in summer, its small terrace on the shady square. Ideal for an ice cream before continuing your tour of the streets of the old town, or on leaving the Castanea museum next door. A friendly welcome and excellent advice on teas to taste or take away.

In Crest's pedestrian street, a "ludic hydration" area, i.e. a space run by volunteers dedicated to games, both on site and on loan. A place for exchange, conviviality and sharing. The café-game association was founded in 2008 with the aim of creating social links around playful moments. The bar is supplied with local products, often organic: fruit juices, local craft beers and fair-trade coffees. The store also offers entertainment and play services. 100% fun!

Ephemeral tapas restaurant-bar open only in summer, from mid-June to around mid-September. A short but intense period. Concerts and events follow one another in this large, shady courtyard just below the old village of Joyeuse. On the plate, inventive dishes with world flavors and more regional fare... We love the electric atmosphere, the waltz of the waiters, the music and the trendy bal musette. Reservations are essential: this is one of the best summer bars in the region, and it's a well-known fact!

At any hour, the bells ring out a gourmet break at Paccard, the famous bell founder located on the shores of Lake Annecy. Near the foundry and the museum, the tea room offers delicacies all day long. And it starts with the breakfast served with a dark or milk chocolate bell made by Cocoa Valley, a local quality manufacturer. For sodas, it is the Brasseurs Savoyards who represent the region, but also Yaute Cola or a Savoyard iced tea, Yaute & Tea. Loose tea that you can't necessarily find elsewhere!

With the appointment of Bertrand Salanon as head of Bonlieu Scène National Annecy, a new story is being written. What hasn't changed is the 900-seat auditorium, which offers the best possible conditions for performances. In the heart of the city, right next to the lake, it's a veritable creative hub where the performing arts can flourish. The 2024 program is no exception, with theater, dance, music and circus arts, as well as performances, conferences, workshops and free events, while we await the presentation of the 2024/2025 season at the end of June, and the not-to-be-missed festivals. A scene more alive than ever.

Built in 1933, it was a classic Italian theatre with 800 seats. Later redesigned contemporary style, it now has 400 places and has the dual employment of Cinema/Theatre. Its facade was made by the Cité de la Création de Lyon. Programming is very varied: concerts, theatre, dance, show and cinema.

The Casino is evolving with the times, having moved from the Espace Loisirs, where it was not prominently displayed, to this highly visible building, with parking right next door. So it's "easier" to get to this Casino in the heart of the village, with all its games and entertainment. Choose from 65 slot machines, plus 10 roulettes and 7 electronic blackjack machines. Traditional table de boule in the evening. Snack bar, bar and events on weekends.

A Circus casino with an original decor that could almost go unnoticed. Indeed, the exterior has nothing to do with a casino, but everything to do with a beautiful bourgeois building revived in royal blue. The interior resembles an exterior, as we find ourselves in a realistic recreation of a small belle époque neighborhood. This friendly establishment, which is first and foremost a casino, features a blackjack table, electronic English roulette tables and over 50 slot machines, as well as 10 rooms to extend your stay.

Inaugurated in September 2004 - its 20th anniversary will be celebrated in 2024 - in place of the Maison de Culture built in 1968 for the Olympic Games, the MC2 is a benchmark facility in the world of culture. A benchmark for its exceptional stage facilities, including a 1,028-seat auditorium for theater, dance and opera, an auditorium for the world's leading orchestras, a small auditorium, a creation room, a dance studio and a recording studio... But also a benchmark because it is home to Grenoble's national choreographic center, the Centre Dramatique National des Alpes and the Musiciens du Louvre Grenoble. An essential cultural venue.

Anyone can try their luck at l'AmpéRage, a performance and cultural cooperation venue, and a place for all those involved in the Grenoble scene and beyond to express themselves. With the aim of making culture accessible to as many people as possible, the programming is eclectic, with open stages, electro, techno, metal... and a bar where you can continue to share good vibrations over a drink. Festivals, projects, resident associations... A place that keeps moving forward with new events, a place that makes noise - but don't make too much noise on your way out... - that you can take possession of.

Open every evening - Sundays included - until very late, Couche-Tard lives up to its name. This Grenoble pub is a must for all self-respecting students, who will leave their mark on the walls. The atmosphere is always festive, with loud music, 11 beers of all kinds on draught, over 40 cocktails and shots to vary the pleasures. Students love to gather here to party and dance on the almost foolproof wooden tables. We squeeze in a little if possible, gently jostle each other, and warm up. As the evening draws to a close, there's only one thing to look forward to: the next evening. A place for nightlife.
