Have a drink at Le Cercueil

This bar couldn't be more in tune with the theme! Le Cercueil is a bar with a macabre atmosphere, lit by black and red lights and set to the rhythm of hard rock. The interior is directly inspired by Halloween culture, right down to the tables, which are actually coffins.
