An itinerant restaurant of old-fashioned chic opens its doors for better or worse. All that’s left of the luxurious restaurant are a few patched velvets, moth-eaten chandeliers and mismatched plates, but the desire to serve, entertain, subjugate and bluff customers remains intact. An imaginary, improbable place with typical employees who fool the world with their mischievousness, their artistic know-how and their good humor, all the while retaining a legendary class, a “British touch”! A simple cuisine, but full of flavors and aromas. In short, the Grands Fourneaux menu features gastronomy, stylish choreography, lyrical fantasies, illuminated acrobatics, chic performers, enthusiastic chefs and lively, charming musicians. Les Grands Fourneaux, a lyrical and culinary fantasy. Price :

  • Full price: €18 – Meal included in the show (vegetarian menu).
  • Reduced rate : 14€ (jobseekers / AAH recipients).
  • Youth rate: €10 (children / students).

“Bluff! “is a dangerous turn towards risk, imbalance and the thrill of anything goes. Centered around an unstable stage set, a gigantic “tumbler” for adults (or almost), “Bluff! “is a challenge to gravity, common sense and the suffocating obsession with the quest for safety. A motley crew of circus performers, musicians, technicians and actors cling to this unstable playground. The stage spins, rumbles, shifts, lands and takes off. The laws of good taste, weightlessness and safety commissionś are going to be wickedly abused, for the pleasure of musical and acrobatic figures playing with the limits of true and false. You’ve been warned… Prices:

  • Full price: €14
  • Reduced rate (jobseekers / AAH recipients): €10
  • Youth rate (children / students / schoolchildren): 6€.
