Fun and entertainment Languedoc Roussillon

Here's an original dance venue, to say the least, and one that's really been missing in Nîmes. The Jive Club is not a discotheque per se, but a club dedicated to dance lovers, where you can have fun with friends or your partner. Indeed, during the week and on Sunday afternoons, it is reserved for couple dances such as tango or bachata. In fact, it's only at weekends from 10pm onwards that it becomes a general discotheque. Surprisingly original! The playlist is also available on their website! Come and see for yourself!
