Les Trois Orfèvres

Tours


An underground (literally) nightspot where DJs (every night) and bands (about one Thursday or Friday a month, starting between 7.30pm and 8.30pm) quake the cellar walls with pop and rock, and students as well as older habitués hang out in force. Dress is very casual. Things really get going around 2am. For concert details, see the Facebook page.
