the essential
Euro 2024 football fascinates. Bars and restaurants on Boulevard Gambetta, in Cahors, are buzzing and preparing to make these evenings in the dining room or on the terrace a blast. We tell you everything here.
Will Boulevard Gambetta, or the Champs Elysées of Cahors, relatively speaking, vibrate to the rhythm of Euro 2024 football as the famous Parisian avenue is preparing for it? Bars and restaurants are doing everything they can, in any case, by pulling out all the stops and especially large flat screens on the terrace. The brasserie-restaurant The Bordeaux will be there as usual for international sporting events.
A fitting decoration at the pub In the office
Same for the pub In the office which is already displaying its ambitions by displaying, on the terrace, the pennants of the teams participating in the tournament. A giant screen will be set up in the same place, outside, while in the establishment balloons will be displayed near the tables. The decor is neat. Opposite, at Bistro de l’IsaEric Bargues, the boss, announces that he will also broadcast the meetings.
Three screens including one on the terrace and a dedicated room in the same restaurant
Further down the boulevard, the Interlude by Philippe Gardillou is also preparing for the great European football festival. “We are going to offer three screens to our customers. One on the terrace, another indoors, then a third upstairs where we decided to privatize a room to accommodate around twenty supporters wishing to gather together to attend the matches. »
The Portuguese of Lot ready to support their national team all together
A group of Blues supporters is being formed and intends to take over this restaurant by bringing out trumpets and drums to celebrate each goal. As for the Portuguese community of Lot, which is very numerous in particular in Mercuès and Espère, the European football championship is an ideal opportunity to meet in their association hall to witness the exploits of Cristiano Ronaldo’s teammates. A fan zone is not on the agenda, but if France reach the final they could bring the big crowd to Cahors.
The Comedy: a first
Finally, one of the most active establishments will be, for its first time, the bar-brewery-restaurant The comedy who completely revamped and enlarged his room.
Enough to accommodate a large screen inside, hoping to be able to position another on the terrace. “We are waiting for agreements for this” specify Kevin and Maxime Mouvielle in one voice. The two managers of the Comedy intend to succeed in their activities. “On Saturday, the menu is mussels and fries or fried sausages,” they specify. The two brothers are from Valenciennes. Belgium is not far away.
The Belgians are already hot as embers
A small Belgian delegation is currently present in Cahors. We can imagine what their base will be for meetings with their favorite red devils. However, the very big atmosphere is expected on Friday June 21, on Boulevard Gambetta, the day of the France-Netherlands match and the Music Festival. Hopefully the Didier Deschamps gang is in tune with this festive tradition.
