Even though it may seem that a quiet town in the South of France would tend to be a little dull for those more interested in the fast-paced nightlife, visiting Antibes might prove to be quite an enjoyable experience in itself just yet. Located along the French Riviera, Antibes sits directly on the water and is positioned in between the familiar French cities of Nice and Cannes. As much beautiful scenery as there is to see throughout town during the daylight hours, there are just as many things to keep you entertained at dark. So if partying runs through your veins and you happen to be in the vicinity looking for a good time, there are a few places you should definitely visit. We conducted an extensive investigation on the most popular and frequented nightlife spots in Antibes and rated them using smiley faces according to their overall fun factor.
For a calmer atmosphere and a few good frothy ales, head straight to Antibes’ “Vielle Ville” where you will find an authentic Irish Pub. Otherwise known as The Hop Store, it is located near the marina at 38 Boulevard d’Aguillon and serves a variety of Irish beers on tap as well as tasty little tidbits for the hungry drinker. The bar is also fully equipped with many different types of liquor and wine to cater to any taste. It is a good place to go to for after work drinks, especially during their daily Happy Hour from 19:00 till 20:00 where, along with endless snack mix, pint beers are only twenty francs and the house wine is a mer...
French explorers first put their steaks into the ground more than a quarter of a century ago. The area that the French chose to build their lives on eventually became Louisiana. Although time has passed, the French influence continues to serve as a significant part of the unique culture of Louisiana ("How The French Influence Is Still Felt In Louisiana Today"). Noticeable areas of French influence include, but are not limited to: cuisine, music, and architecture. However, the continuation of the French language and dialects over the years appears to be the most noteworthy influence that French has had on Louisiana ("How The French Influence Is Still Felt In Louisiana Today").
North of Manhattan, a good cup of coffee is hard to come by; the taste is lacking in strength and not much thought is put into its production. Profit-seeking coffee chains like Dunkin Donuts and Donut Delight are widespread and lack in quality. More often than not, coffee is a $3 afterthought of dessert, rather than a delicacy in itself. Lorca cafe, situated in downtown Stamford on Bedford Street, appreciates the artistry and skill that must be employed to brew a decent cup of coffee. Spanish and western-Mediterranean influences are uniform throughout the flavors and venue. The chic, modern atmosphere is equipped with ample power outlets to provide the perfect workplace for the productive coffee drinker. Imported foreign blends and locally baked goods unite to create a perfect harmony of flavors from near and far. The Instagram-famous aspect of the restaurant appeals to social media butterflies with an affinity for art. Dynamic artwork, the friendly staff, and addicting flavors encourage recurrent visits.
the big city drowned their sorrows in pulque … it accounted for over 90 percent of all the alcohol drunk in the capital … The suggestive power of a bright scene or an exotic name painted on the façade was at times enhanced by a slogan like ‘Drink Pulque, Be Happy” (50-51).
Set in France in 1904, the stage is a French bar called the “Lapin Agile”, with the action of the plot involving the characters who come into the bar and their relationship to time as well as each other. The script is an abstract look at the chance meeting of historical
The French Code Noir, also known as The Black Code, was a decree originally passed by King Louis XIV of France in 1685. The decree was a document that established the main points for slavery policies, including not only the treatment of the slaves but the life, death, purchase, and religion of the slaves. These policies were to be followed by the masters of the slaves in all French Colonies. Slavery was a huge issue and has shaped history in a way that nothing else has. Slavery has brought many social, political, and ethical issues to the world.
Pre-Revolutionary peasants were upset with the chasm between low and high class and were ready to make a change in the French society that would follow Enlightenment philosophies. The people decided to work together to form a constitution for their country that would treat all men fairly under the law, giving no special privileges to the high class citizens and equal voting rights for all. Their self-given name, Sans-Culottes, is a symbol of their rejection of high-class luxury, as the “Culottes” were the knee-length pants worn particularly by wealthy French citizens (the name literally meaning Without Culottes.) This movement was extremely popular because it appealed to any and all of the impoverished people in France, urban and rural. Over time, the new, fair government was not fully realized and the Sans-Culottes became angry to the point of violence in an effort to make the changes promised by the first Revolutionaries. The Sans-Culottes were a powerful driving force in the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror because of the massive impact their violence had on society.
The coffee bar transforms into a beer/wine bar at 5 pm. The bar will have the same relaxing elegant vibe, rather than a loud one that is mostly seen in a regular bar. We will have a fine selection of affordable wine. There will also be craft beers along with Bud Light Platinum. We will arrange occasional special nights when we will bring live acoustic music and give out special offers for the night. The customers we will attract are a little more sophisticated than usual rowdy people that a bar tends to have.
Unfortunately, Marion consideration of allowing him his daughter is postponed. In end of the book it says “But he wanted his child, and nothing was much good now, beside that fact. He wasn’t young anymore, with a lot of nice thoughts and dreams to have by himself” (Fitzgerald 400). Charlie wanted to make changes in his life, but the people around him do not accept that he is a better man and his alcoholic past will continue to hold him back from living the future he wants with his daughter.
In 1959- early 1960 five directors released debut feature length films that are widely regarded as heralding the start of the French nouvelle vague or French New Wave. Claude Chabrols Le Beau Serge (The Good Serge, 1959) and Les Cousins (The Cousins, 1959) were released, along with Francois Truffauts Les Quatre cents coups (The 400 Blows, 1959), Jean-Luc Godards A bout de souffle (Breathless, 1960) and Alain Resnais Hiroshima mon amour (Hiroshima my love, 1959). These films were the beginning of a revolution in French cinema. In the following years these directors were to follow up their debuts, while other young directors made their first features, in fact between 1959-63 over 170 French directors made their debut films. These films were very different to anything French and American cinema had ever produced both in film style and film form and would change the shape of cinema to come for years. To understand how and why this nouvelle vague happened we must first look at the historical, social, economical and political aspects of France and the French film industry leading up to the onset of the nouvelle vague.
An American in Paris took place in Paris, France, and embodied the color, atmosphere, and spirit of Paris. At the beginning of the musical, it showed the streets of Paris, which were beautiful and elegant, even almost mesmerizing. As I watched the musical, it seemed like we were in the streets of Paris. There was huge architecture and buildings and a lot of the musical took place at a café or their homes. Everything was elegant. This set definitely enhanced the musical. Everything including props and the set, helped bring it all together. For instance, in the café, there were tables with chairs set around them, there was a basket with food set on the table. Also, the production was in color, but what stood out to me was that the clothes seemed
During the 1940’s, the world found itself dealing with World War II and in the United States ,a huge African culture movement swept throughout the north-eastern states. One specific artist that captivated the “Nightlife” of African Americans during that era was Archibald Motley Jr. He painted a series of paintings that involved African Americans and their culture. In the painting, “Nightlife” we see a group of African Americans dancing at a club/bar, enjoying life, and swaying their hips to the music. Perhaps, in this painting, Motley wanted his public to notice the breakthrough, blacks had during the 1940’s and wanted to show how music took their mind on a different stroll apart from the troubling issues the world was dealing with. Archibald wanted the world to notice the dynamic and exciting Negro culture.
The French New Wave movement was heavily influenced by a variety of figures, events, and cultural changes that led to its creation. Responding to the lackluster film industry following WWII, critics and directors saw the New Wave aesthetic as an opportunity to revolutionize the world of film by challenging the mainstream film industry and its unquestionable influence.

The Main Features of Government and Society Under the Ancient Regime in France before 1789
The French are all about preserving their culture and being individualized. They often take great pride in the French products and the French style, and believe in keeping the French culture “pure” so they also limit the amount of foreign goods that are being imported. But during the World Wars the French began to allow foreigners to immigrate into France to take jobs due to an increase in job shortages. The immigration from the World Wars added to the diversity of the French culture. Ever since the 1850’s there has been a steady flow of immigration into France, and now nine percent of the French population is made up of immigrants (Gofen 62). The break down of the cultures in France is eighty-five percent of the French population is Roman Catholic, eight percent Muslim, two percent Protestants, and one percent Jewish. From 1801-1905, Roman Catholicism was the man religion in France and bishops and priests were being paid by the government to be state officials. But this was broken in 1905 (“France” 460). The current debate in France is the banning of religious symbols in public school systems. An example of a religious symbol being banned is headscarves. Headscarves have been banned since 2004, but the French do not allow ANY religious symbols in public school systems (“In Knots”) France should not continue to ban the wearing of religious symbols in public school systems because since the World Wars France began to allow foreigners to immigrate into France, in the United States there are no laws restricting the wearing of religious symbols, and important French figures have had foreign parents.
