Paul Gouzien set up his Opus 34, created in 2020, on rue porte de la monnaie, then within the TnBA (ex-Café du théâtre). And that makes it a real artists' HQ! Opened before and after theater performances,Opus 34 is a bright and beautiful place, with a stage for Op'N'Mic events, a large bar and a terrace under the trees near the Sainte-Croix church. The area is particularly pleasant. Here, you can enjoy ultra-worked simonettes to share. At lunchtime, Opus 34 is a veritable canteen, with a menu priced at 15 euros.

Here, theater and music are in the spotlight, with an appetite for contemporary art. Each season, in addition to actors and musicians, dancers, storytellers, circus performers and even puppeteers are added to the mix, to the delight of young and old. The spaces are open for rental: the auditorium with its perfect acoustics, the Forum open to the park, and the Foyers. Ideal places for exhibitions, meetings and other events...

The Gujan casino is a long colonial house languishing among reeds and palm trees. Inspired by Louisiana, the white wooden building is just a stone's throw from the small ports and most beautiful beaches of the Arcachon Basin. High-frequency jackpot slot machines, electronic English roulette... there's everything you need to try your luck. For lunch or dinner, head to the Bistro Régent, famous for its all-you-can-eat French fries and Charmelcia sauce.

Le (Petit) Café is the perfect place for Gujannais to meet up, chat or work while enjoying a delicious meal.

The White Moustache is a real beer palace. Of course, the quality of the animations and the evenings as well as the quality of the service made its good reputation as much as the number of references in beers, whiskies, rums, wines, champagne and cocktails accompanied by some nibbles. The most, they are the beer taps at the disposal of the customers to taste the house beer, the White Moustache, the Mira (beer of the basin of Arcachon) or the Vitus.

After the experience, why not stop off at the tavern?

A long, neon-lit coffee shop where you can take a break during the day with a coffee or a hot drink in the barista tradition (cappuccino, macchiato, latte, chai latte, chocolate...).

A huge terrace on the beach street promenade and a large and long room, at the lecture of the impressive mural mural. It represents many characters, almost as much as the mignonnettes collection at the end of the counter. This is an example of a "inhabited" establishment - of those who live and attract life beyond September 15. But in season, it's the spot where you get nibble-boy - dawn - and until now, depending on the envy of the moment: ice or dessert, fresh pasta in choice sauce, Landes salad, pepper magret, or home-made specialities at 11 € such as lentils or rabbit rabbit, unveiling of a siesta on the beach.
