Cocktails that tell the story of the city

Come in… if you can find the door.

La Crypte is L'Arche's hidden bar. You come down for a cocktail spoken in a low voice, in a vaulted room bathed in red, between antique mirrors and backlit bottles. Every creation is named after a place in Angers, from the Logis Royal to the Ramparts.

Regularly, the vault comes alive: jam sessions, artists, parties. Follow us on Instagram for the programme.
