2. The bars of Angoulême in blue-white-red
For lovers of reliable values, the cafés of Angoulême are there. Place des Halles will be the scene of a double World Cup and Retro party evening, the last date of a series of events throughout the summer. On the program: aperitif accompanied by a DJ installed on the forecourt of the halls. At 9 p.m., each bar in the square broadcasts the match on its side. “Like at the football World Cup, explains Alexandre Cousin, of Le Chat Noir. It was complicated to set up a common screen for the whole place. » From 11 p.m., a DJ will surf the rugby fervor with hits from the 1970s to 2000.
The addresses accustomed to scrums, drops and tries will get into the atmosphere of the competition. The River 102 reserves part of its space for the retransmission of the matches of the XV of France. La Table du marché, place Victor-Hugo, or the Kennedy pub, in Vieil-Angoulême, will also broadcast Friday’s match.

Plans to run away from the oval ball
The next two months promise to be complicated for those allergic to rugby. But islets free of any ovality emerge here and there.

The tastings will be accompanied by DJ sets dub, groovy at Vin d’orge, and hip-hop, funk at Bock n’Roll.
