L'Orphéa Club

A full-featured club near Caen

L'Orphéa Club set up in Moult-Chicheboville in 2007 and has had time to polish its offer. You'll find a dancefloor with a cage and strip poles, cuddle spaces, a maze, a themed prison and even a giant bed. Let's just say the walk through the venue is already part of the evening.

The highlight that keeps coming up among regulars is the spa area, open all night. A smoking terrace rounds things out, handy for catching your breath between two moods.

Friday or Saturday, two different evenings

On Friday (and the eve of public holidays), l'Orphéa plays the party card: a fully mixed evening, open to couples, single women and single men, lively music, an atmosphere that builds crescendo from 9:30pm to 3:30am.

On Saturday, the tone shifts. From 10pm to 4:30am, the venue narrows access to couples and single women, for a more intimate, more hushed atmosphere. If you're after discretion and less buzz, this is clearly the evening to pick.

Prices and dress code

No booking needed, you just show up. On the price side, a drink is included in every package.

• Couple: 35 euros
• Single woman: 10 euros
• Single man: 42 euros

Proper dress is required at the door. For men, a shirt with trousers or smart jeans. For women, skirts and sexy outfits are rather encouraged, though it's not a strict requirement.

What the regulars say

Feedback on this club is mostly enthusiastic. People praise clean, well-kept facilities, a careful welcome and an atmosphere described as glamorous and warm, far from the sometimes cold image attached to some clubs.

A few reviews still point out one downside: the screening of single men at the door could be stricter, with some regretting inappropriate behavior from a handful of them. The rest of the comments insist on the spirit of respect and care that the on-site team seems to carry, with never any obligation to take part in anything once inside.
