The Bout du Monde is about 5 minutes walk from my place, I'm in there all the time. Always have been. I remember it opening a few years ago!

I've played quite a few gigs there, I'm part of the decor so strange that I've never noticed you lot in there?!

Val told me that there's two English blokes who go in every Wednesday for a pint and salt n vinegar walkers so maybe that's you two!

I also play football with most of them on a Sunday and am playing in a tournament for them on the 30th of August.

They used to organise games nights but I think that's finished now. Otherwise, there is a chess tournament starting on the 1st of September (I'm the only girl signed up so far and there are over 30 of us taking part!).

They have bands on most weekends and organise home-made short film nights and the like.

There's no other pub like it. Always something going on, the staff are all brilliant (have to say that as they're all mates of mine...), excellent selection of beers, not too expensive and ..... WALKERS SALT N VINEGAR CRISPS!!!!!!

They have a festival once a year in the theatre next door. It's at the beginning of October (5,6,7 this year I think...)

Vive le Bout du Monde!

P.S. There are a few other places in the local area too (Le Petit Lém in the old town; I'm often in the Rex but just coz I know everyone there too...) Otherwise, I go to Montreux quite a bit as my mate Keith has a bar there which is full of expats all the time. They have all the football on every weekend so I'm often there too propping up the bar once the footie season starts. Montreux is only 5 minutes away, buses run till around 11pm and last train back in the week is just after 12, otherwise a taxi back would probably cost you about 15-20 chufs.

As you can tell, I'm very rarely at home...

I've lived in this area for about 8 and a half years and played hundreds of gigs around here so most people know me (or know of me). If you are in the Bout du Monde, just ask for Jenny
