    Dolce Vita

    The banks of the Allier

    Summer is the season when parasols grow like chic-bohemian mushrooms on the banks of the Allier. On Friday and Saturday nights, we go to breathe at Pride where a wind of hedonism, freedom and freshness blows, right next to the river. Live music or DJ Set, Mojito or caipirinha, planks of cold cuts or shrimp fritters what does it matter as long as we live, we feel and we dance.

      Gourmet break

To please the children, to bring back Vichy pastilles or chocolates for the family, these are some good (false?) excuses to push the door of our favorite ice-cream parlors or confectioners.
