Les Bains Gourmands

An institution in the Vendée

Alice opened Les Bains Gourmands in 1998 and the club is still going strong, more than twenty years later, right in the heart of La Roche-sur-Yon. That kind of longevity, in the swinging scene, gets noticed: it means the crowd keeps coming back, season after season.

The address has become a landmark for Vendée swingers, a trusted spot where you know what to expect before you even walk in.

The spaces

Spread over 230 m² on two levels, the venue bets equally on relaxation and party vibes. The ground floor houses a bar with pole dance and a dancefloor, while the wellness area (spa, sauna, hammam, jacuzzi, showers) takes up a good chunk of the place.

Ten play rooms round things out, each with its own atmosphere. There are also video lounges for those who prefer to watch before getting into the action, or just watch.

Hours and rates

The club is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. The rest of the week, each evening has its own deal:

• Monday 2pm to 7pm: couples 15 euros
• Thursday 2pm to 1am: free entry
• Friday 2pm to 7pm and 9pm to 2am: couples 20 euros
• Saturday 9pm to 3am: couples 35 euros
• Sunday 3pm to 10pm: couples 20 euros

Single women get in free all week long. Single men pay between 30 and 40 euros depending on the evening, and their access is limited compared to couples and single women, who remain the house's priority.

Atmosphere and reviews

Regulars talk about a warm welcome and caring staff, two qualities that come up often in feedback about the club. The cleanliness of the wellness facilities is also mentioned regularly, which is no small detail in this type of venue.

The free Thursday deal and the couples' rates draw in a loyal crowd, who appreciate being able to come back regularly without breaking the bank. Themed evenings punctuate the weeks, giving regulars a fresh vibe each time.
