Fun and entertainment Rhônes-Alpes

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.

The remue-méninges is an associative café-reading where the key word is culture! If you like to exchange, debate, meet, learn, meet authors, you are at the right address!

The building was inaugurated in 1967 to host the figure skating events of the 1968 Winter Olympics. The building that once housed an ice rink for champions and hosted the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games now serves as a showcase for sporting and musical events. In its largest configuration, this modular hall can seat 12,000 people, making it the largest in the département. It also hosted the Davis Cup final in 1982. The end of 2023 will see Lomepal and Michel Sardou, while Shakaponk is scheduled for early 2024, offering a wide range of styles for all audiences.

As part of the "With Natural" street, here is the Passage, a tea salon where you can discover all the flavours of the Palais des Thés. A Smart Council, come here in the morning, take a real breakfast for 9,50 €, with a hot drink, fresh fruit juice, string, churn butter and jam… which will keep you up to noon without scraping. Snacks at noon with toast and crumbles, but it's time to taste that a tea salon takes its full dimension, when you come to enjoy an excellent tea accompanied by a chocolate bag. Precious moments of which one must not lose a miette.

A sign that doesn't lie, especially when it comes to the word "old", since Le Vieux Manoir has been in existence for over 50 years! It's the biggest club in Grenoble's inner city, the right bank's must-see club of venerable age, which might give it an underground air. In its 3 rooms - Latino, techno-house, pop rock and disco - it organizes very contemporary evenings with great DJs. Ideal for a change of atmosphere, even if some of the rooms fill up very quickly (and it becomes difficult to move). As for the physio, each person can make up his or her own mind, but a selection (salutary... or discriminating, depending on your opinion?) is made at the door. A classic that moves with the times.

This hall dedicated to classical music, a 300-seat auditorium installed in the former chapel of the Minimes convent founded in the 17th century, is located in the heart of old Grenoble, in one of the oldest streets. We attend exclusively classical concerts. It is also the headquarters of the Musiciens du Louvre - directed by Marc Minkowsky. In this unique place steeped in history, everyone can discover a music that is reputedly less accessible than today's music, with a very particular sound aesthetic. The Musiciens du Louvre perform on the biggest national and international stages, notably at the Opéra Garnier, and the people of Grenoble can also enjoy their performances.

La Rampe is the best way to access culture for all audiences, even those furthest removed from a sometimes elitist world. La Rampe d'Echirolles is a beautiful, lively space, with a superb red-curtained auditorium that hosts plays, classical and modern concerts, as well as dance, singing, comedy shows and exhibitions... The body has pride of place, whether danced, choreographed or sublimated by the artists. The 2023-2024 season will take us on an exploration of different worlds, with an emphasis on diversity: Ballet Preljocaj, André Manoukian trio, IT Dansa... A space complemented by another facility, La Ponatière.

Liège waffles, iced chocolate waffles, Kinder Bueno waffles, Snickers waffles... designed by a craftsman and baked on site, accompanied by an organic coffee or a pumpkin spice latte - you guessed it, at Club Café, we spoil you!

Club Café also offers a range of sandwiches, wraps, salads and smoothies, with or without food.

The Smoking Dog is for all English pub lovers: draught beers, bottle beers, rums, whiskies...

The setting is rustic and comfortable. Different activities are possible: reading, chess, checkers, darts and even a piano. A friendly atmosphere despite the narrowness of the place.

Located right next to the Maison François Ier, the Café du Vieux Saint-Étienne is a real institution. Several generations have succeeded each other in this establishment. The place has kept its charm of yesteryear. In the morning, the inhabitants of Saint Etienne stop there to have a good coffee before work, at noon, they stop there again for lunch: rump steak, leg of lamb, roast pork, salmon steak, or chocolate fondant. Simple and efficient.

The city's most famous nightclub La Mine has given way to the Discorder Club, a new place dedicated to independent culture. Former Smoking Dog veterans Julien Haro and Thibault Llopis have taken over the management by creating two concepts in the same place: in the first part of the evening, live concert programming. French and international artists and local groups perform in a variety of styles: jazz, electro, punk, rock... From 12:30, the Discorder switches to club mode: DJs take turns to make the audience dance until the end of the night. The managers have decided to make the entrance free of charge. Concerts are cheap to be accessible to all.

At the Recoin (1650), a nice novelty. Anakoo, a lounge bar, surprises first of all by its nice decoration in a very personal style. Normal, Julia, the manager of the place, is an upholsterer and creates herself its seats and its benches in her workshop located beside the bar. And if, like us, you fall in love with the place, decorative objects and 100% handmade furniture are for sale. Permanent exhibitions (paintings and sculptures) that change regularly. On the bar side, a nice selection of local beers and wines to accompany quality sweet and salty dishes.

What a delightful place this unique café is, whose name refers directly to the game of chess! The Dd4, as the intimates say, is the place of all possibilities. Here, customers and artists from all walks of life meet. On the program, two FIDE approved tournaments per year, exhibitions, concerts every Friday night, and more. One comes to relax around a good foam chosen on a card rigorously worked by the staff, but one can also sit down around a pizza, a burger or aperitif boards.

Among other things, this coffee is a soup bar, a literary café, a cultural café, a theatre café, a citizen café, a spiritual café, a café, a café where you are yourself, different… A coffee that you just love. At the foot of the Slopes, the Lair Other is a polyphonic coffee that can give voice to make its difference heard. From the voice and words you can read on all the walls of the establishment while you eat a warm and balanced kitchen, made home, with a desert base or tapas in the evening. But what makes the soul of the scene is the readings, concerts and expos that take place all year round. Improvisations, acoustic concert, sacred songs, paintings and always hanging stage open to everyone. Always nice meetings to make around Maguelone and surprises every time. A coffee where you can get lost to find yourself.

Antifreeze is the ideal place for friends. From red dressed, this place is very cosy and very trendy. A warm, warm welcome and an eclectic musical atmosphere.

Hot or cold cocktails will spoil you until the beginning of the night, and jazz or speeddating evenings will surprise you. One thing is sure, you leave rather hot than frozen.

This fully renovated mega disco is capable of welcoming up to 1 500, thanks to its summer garden. A light installation and music that direction (laser, videos, giant screens, synthetic images), international sizes of the house and DJ's renowned as David Guetta, for evenings to be marked with a white stone: Beautiful girls and beautiful guys swaying, stuck at the track by an incomparable power, everything in a palace renovated in a pure Roman Empire style (two function rooms, Le César Palace and Villa Club). In short, the Caesar set himself as the essential disco of the pure and hard music.

New venue, new scene for a quality dinner dinner at the Domaine Le Gallic in Ternay, not far from Lyon. A novelty that we learned when the comic crew of Magik Distingo was a party on the summer tour. So we couldn't test this new place where you eat fun, but we'll certainly go back to the back of the comics and magicians. An address to discover and a show to rediscover.

A great fan of Russian tea, you can no longer have industrial bags that distort this drink of the czars? There is no need to go to St. Petersburg, but to enjoy it. All you need to do is enter this Thé tea room, the banks of the Baikal. Bewitched by fragrant scents, one can choose from a wide choice such as the Zolotyïe Lepetsky, a black tea without aroma or the speciality of the Baikal composed of five citrus fruits (bergamot, lemon, orange, grapefruit and mandarin). With sweet or savoury treats, you'll have made a secluded trip to your home.

Le Petit Théâtre led by Janine Berdin still presents young, dynamic and entertaining shows for the pleasure of all audiences. As its name indicates, this Little Pocket Theatre is not very large, but its human size facilitates rapprochement with all the public, especially school students who can analyze the game of the actors under all the seams and almost under their noses! Traditionally, each representation is followed by an exchange between actors and public in a friendly relationship.

A big lift for this district bar, which has taken advantage of a new sidewalk to set up a beautiful terrace which always drains many used to the time of the black or lunch (dish day, family kitchen). P'tit Vert lost, in part, its colors of SA Saint Etienne but gained in "beauty" and clarity. Its counter lost a little length, the tables won space, broken white walls, apparent stones, wood and metal for tables and chairs. There is an atmosphere of pleasant neighbourhood bistro in a somewhat deserted corner by the terraces.

A famous nightclub in Saint-Etienne, La Mine bowed out in 2018. This emblematic venue will reopen its doors in spring 2023 as La Bonne Mine. It's a party bar, mainly aimed at a clientele of thirty-somethings. La Bonne Mine's opening hours are ideal for afterworks with friends, but also for dancing the night away. Concerts, dance classes, brunches, blind tests, soccer reruns... The club offers a variety of themed evenings to suit all tastes.

It's like stepping back in time (even though you haven't started drinking yet...).

You'll feel right at home at Le Florian, thanks to the convivial yet hushed, relaxed yet elegant ambience of the tastefully arranged glasses. All the classics, but above all in-house creations by creative mixologists who are always ready to listen. Plates to accompany cocktails. Smart spot.

Opened in 2015, Château du Rozier has become a major player on the Forez plain's cultural scene.

In addition to its programming, the Château du Rozier organizes shows for school audiences and is also an artists' residency.

The North is hot… The Place to be for all Scandinavians of the resort, but also for lovers of good live music, concerts and DJ, in an international atmosphere.

At the foot of Mont Blanc, the Royal Casino in Chamonix is the highest in Europe. In the city center, in a magnificent listed building from the early 20th century, its charm has not faded. One of the most beautiful gaming rooms we know. Sensations around the tables of traditional games with the English roulette, the black jack or the Texas Hold'em Ultimate, but also by playing on one of the 75 slot machines while watching the jackpots climbing. 8 places on the electronic English roulette. And to break the ice, cocktails or other drinks at the bar!

The more the trouble to go to Memphis, the cradle of Elvis blues and home, the Blues Rock Café is just steps away from Evian, the city of water too!

A real service tray on its own! Many good music, concerts all styles together every Thursday, theme nights, 4 bowling alleys… It is not only a matter of'air'and the plates soothe the most voracious appetites by offering us well prepared meat - burger, tartar, beef ribs - regional specialities - tartiflette, berthoud, fondue -, not forgetting the generous pizzas that fall in the shade.

Standing out from the crowd of traditional casinos with its futuristic lines, the Casino de Saint-Julien sets itself apart by offering the public a veritable bouquet of services and leisure activities for unforgettable moments.

In the heart of the village, this is the historic discotheque of Les Gets, and the oldest dance hall in France when it was opened in 1938! This small wooden chalet offers good evenings with current rhythms with some DJs of today - techno, house, etc. - and evenings from 1980-1990 on Fridays. Good plan : you can book a free 8-seater shuttle (minimum 2 people) between Les Gets, Morzine and the surrounding area : between 11pm and 1h45am (to get there) and between 3am and 6am (the return), subject to availability. It's Sam who drives !

An idea to break the ice! The Ice Shock Bar is undoubtedly the best news that we are discovering on the tracks this year. First of all, there is the beautiful terrace perfectly exposed where you can dance, on the good sound mixed by a great Dj, the ski shoes at the foot… At an altitude of 2 100 metres, you'll find a nice mountain chalet décor, very warm, to sample the shooters served in ice glasses. An ice that melts gradually in contact with our lips while the alcohol flows (with moderation) in our throat… The possibility to privatise places, especially in the evening, for exceptional celebrations. Note that you can also enjoy a dish of the day (reservation in advance) from 12 €. Everything is home and it's as delicious as the atmosphere. This is an unavoidable and completely givrée stop that the Smart has adored.
