A lot of fans will head to the stadiums bar to drink – The Sports Palace is found behind the North Stand but you will have to register as a member to get in on game days.

There are many bars worth mentioning and the first one has to be Autour du Zinc. This is a wine bar in the old city, with amazing wine list and atmosphere.
