Aperitivo du Bourg
Overview
Intro
Le Bourg is the place to be to make the most of summer evenings.
From June 25 to September 3, every Thursday during the summer, the Bourg district comes alive with a convivial event: the Aperitivo. It's a warm rendezvous where every drink ordered comes with a complimentary bite to eat.
