It's at the source that we come to find our fine beverages! Arthur and Sarah, both from wine-growing backgrounds, have opened this beautiful wine cellar in the heart of Gençay.

What more could you ask for: friendly bosses, quality products and a pleasant setting?

This Poitiers bar is an institution. In the past, magistrates used to come here for a black coffee between hearings. Change of ownership in 2022. Le Gambetta has become a trendy place where people come at all hours of the day. Breakfasts in the velvet decor or on the terrace, quality croc/quiche/sandwich breaks, afterworks with gourmet bites and incredible cocktails. At the helm, Reda imagines original, perfectly balanced recipes. A delight to sip with friends. Very pleasant service.

This Coffee Shop & Epicerie Bio Vrac specializes in espresso, tea and coffee beverages from around the world. More than just a trend, it's now an "eco-responsible" phenomenon that's making a lasting impact! To come here is to treat yourself to a delightful moment, always accompanied by a warm welcome from a passionate team. You'll meet Léandro, barista and roaster, who will tell you all about the history of coffee. Cappuccino, milkshake, smoothies, to be enjoyed with the famous waffles and brioches perdues. Delicious!

It is the youth club of La Rochelle par excellence, a stone's throw from the Concurrence beach. The first room, with a smoking area, is dedicated to trendy music (electro, RnB, house) and shows videos on giant screens. The second room, the Papagayo, is also air-conditioned and gives pride of place to 80s and sun music (zouk, latino) and disco! Note that every Thursday night, the students dance on special evenings, while Sundays are reserved for all those who like karaoke. One club, several atmospheres!

To find this bar, head for the marina! Just a stone's throw from the ocean, the Floor is the ideal place to sip a drink with friends. You'll appreciate the warm welcome and, of course, the terrace where you can watch the boats come and go. The cocktail menu is so extensive, it's impossible to get bored here!
