    • Monkey Place, a must-visit cocktail bar for any occasion in Vendée

      Monkey Place welcomes you with a monkey at the entrance, a clear nod to the charming urban jungle that the place represents. Nestled in the heart of the Mercure hotel in La Roche-sur-Yon, it is ideally located for a break at any time of day, just a few minutes from the train station and Place Napoléon.


      Tea time, drinks with friends, after-work drinks, a get-together with colleagues, or a family meal— at Monkey Place, anything is possible. The drinks menu is diverse and varied, featuring local wines, craft beers, and house cocktails. Gorilla, Bonobo, or Gibbon—the choice is yours, depending on your mood!


      Every Friday, a lively evening is organized, such as a concert or a music quiz; come and join the fun! The cuisine, prepared with fresh ingredients, is also worth trying, along with the famous Sunday brunch, served in a friendly atmosphere.

    I love this place because when I walk in, I feel like I've gone on a trip with its tropical atmosphere. This after-work drinks and snacks break is relaxing and also allows us to sample a variety of delicious dishes. My friends and I are always delighted to go there. Thank you to the whole team for your warm welcome.
