A video club, sex shop style
Vidéo Zapping has been holding shop on avenue Denfert Rochereau in Saint-Étienne since January 2001. It's a small outfit (an EURL with one or two employees) that's carved out its place in the local scene without much fuss.
The concept: an adult video club paired with a classic sex shop. You can rent and buy DVDs here, which is fairly rare these days for this kind of business.
Booths and screening room
The shop has individual booths for watching on the spot, plus a common room for those who'd rather watch somewhere other than four walls. It's a real plus compared to sex shops that stick to takeaway sales only.
This video club format with a viewing space harks back to the establishments of the 2000s, still very much alive here.
Lingerie, accessories and aphrodisiacs
Alongside the DVDs, you'll find a lingerie section, accessories and a few aphrodisiac products. The offering stays general but covers the essentials for an impulse buy or a naughty gift.
Access is reserved for adults, 18 and over, as in any establishment of this type.
Opening hours
- Monday and Wednesday: 2pm to 8pm
- Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday: 11:30am to 9pm
- Sunday: 2pm to 8pm
Generous hours, with Sunday opening, which isn't so common for this kind of business.
What the regulars say
Online reviews remain scarce but they all point the same way: a relaxed atmosphere, no pressure to buy, and a film selection deemed well curated. Plenty of room to browse the shelves without feeling watched.
