Café du Palais
Run by the same family since 1930, this old-time café is the place to see and be seen, at least if you're a bon bourgeois or a theatre type. Decoration includes wall mirrors, an art deco skylight and an extraordinary collection of bric-a-brac that ranges from the tacky to the inspired. The shoes hanging upside down from the dark red ceiling and the life-sized statue of a naked woman with horse's hoofs and elephant tusks – is it art? Is it kitsch?

Le Bougnat de Pouilles
A funky bar/wine bar that doubles as an art gallery. The ventilation system looks like it was inspired either by the Centre Pompidou or by an extremely limited budget - in any case the anti-décor seems to put people at ease. Attacks of the munchies can be overcome with plates of cold cuts or cheese. There's live music two or three times a month, often on Thursday from 21:00.

Hall Place
Relax, sip bubbly and look fabulous at this trendy wine bar, a huge hit with Reims' young and beautiful set. Streetside, chest-high butcher-block tables look out on the curves of Halles du Boulingrin, while at the back there's a wine shop. Lunch is served daily except Sunday; dinner is available on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday (€10.50 to €23).

Le Gainz' Bar
Named in honour of the legendary baladeer Serge Gainsbourg (that's him in shades on the wall), this friendly, rambling place is Troyes' most popular student hang-out. There's a student night on Thursday, a DJ on Friday (22:00-01:00) and a theme night on Saturday. Sports options include darts, billiards and foosball.

Waïda
A salon de thé (tearoom) and confectioner with old-fashioned mirrors, mosaics and marble. A good place to pick up a box of biscuits roses (€3.90), traditionally nibbled with Champagne (€6 to €7.50 a glass). The religieuses (cream-filled puff pastries; €2.75) are divine!

Le Tigre
Sprawling and laid-back, this bar-disco, about 1km east of the cathedral, has more wall textures than it does beers on tap (six). There's live music starting at 21:00 on Friday and Saturday (but not in July and August). At 23:00 from Thursday to Saturday Le Tigre becomes a disco.

Montana
From Sunday to Wednesday it's a bar with a DJ, from Thursday to Saturday a disco featuring Latino, salsa and House - but no 1980s! Attracts lots of students on Thursday and has a drag queen cabaret starting at 01:00 on Sunday.
