Cat Cafes Nearby
Le Tchatons
Ales, Occitanie37 mi / 59 km
Le Tchatons is a bar à chats and salon de thé run as an association bar on Place du Général Leclerc in the centre of Alès, a few steps from the town hall. Its almost 200 square metres are arranged as a calm space for around five resident cats. The cats were originally offered for adoption, but the owners grew too attached during the Covid lockdowns and kept them; the team still points visitors to local associations with cats to rehome. Guests order affordable drinks, crêpes and homemade desserts, and can use the free Wi-Fi, a library of cat books and board games. The café regularly hosts cat yoga, workshops and themed evenings with local associations, and visitors can join the association as members or volunteers.
Miaou Coffee
Beziers, Occitanie38 mi / 61 km
Miaou Coffee is the first bar à chats in Béziers, on Rue du Chapeau Rouge at Place Pépézuc in the historic centre. Johanna Delauzun opened it in July 2024 in a former clothes shop that she converted with a purpose-built cat room and a pastry kitchen. Her resident cats include pedigree cats from LOOF-registered breeders, among them a Maine Coon, a Bengal and Orientals, and rescues from the SPA such as a Siamese and a European shorthair. They are used to children and spend nights at the owner's home. There is no entry fee; visitors order from a salon de thé menu of coffee, cappuccino, iced teas, milkshakes and mostly homemade pastries. The café pitches itself as a calm place to unwind, students come to work there on weekdays, and it has hosted cat yoga with a teacher from across the square.
Le Charisto
Lancon Provence, Provence Alpes Cote Dazur63 mi / 101 km
Le Charisto is a cat cafe and luxury cat boarding house on the RN 113 in Lançon-Provence, between Salon-de-Provence and the Étang de Berre, opposite a Marie Blachère bakery. The cafe has sofas, cat trees, plants and hideouts, and its cats are the house's own sociable residents, sometimes joined by particularly friendly boarders; outside cats are not admitted. Each visitor orders at least one drink, or pays a small entry fee instead, and when the room is busy tables are shared on a rotation after 90 minutes. The menu includes lattes, hot drinks, crêpes, waffles and homemade ice cream, with lunch platters on some days and a Saturday brunch. Board games are available, and the cafe organises workshops and themed events. Children are welcome if they stay calm, do not pick up the cats and stay with their parents.
Meow Cats Café
Aix En Provence, Provence Alpes Cote Dazur79 mi / 127 km
Meow Cats Café is the first cat cafe in Aix-en-Provence, open since February 2019 on Rue Fonderie in the old town, close to Place des Prêcheurs. Six resident cats, all from rescue associations, make up the house 'Meow Gang': Dexter, Kida, Olympe, Opium, Fripouille and Oni. They roam the cafe freely and often nap among the tables. There is no entry fee; guests order from a homemade, vegan-friendly menu of onigiri, sando sandwiches, pastries such as chocolate fondant and cat-shaped panna cotta, milkshakes, matcha lattes and other hot and cold drinks, with brunch on Saturdays. Lunch tables and the Saturday brunch can be booked by Instagram message for groups of up to six; from 2 PM visits are walk-in only. Children under 10 are not admitted, for the cats' wellbeing. The cafe also sells its own merchandise.

Bastet Café
Albi, Occitanie89 mi / 143 km
Bastet Café is a restaurant, salon de thé and bar à chats in a private house on Rue de Genève in Albi, a short walk from the town centre. Named after the Egyptian cat goddess, it is home to seven or eight resident cats, including Orientals and a Sphynx, who wander freely, play and settle on guests' laps when they choose. At lunchtime it works as a restaurant: the owner cooks seasonal starters, quiches, tarts and vegetable dishes each morning from local and organic produce, with set menus suitable for vegetarians and wines and beers from the Tarn. Lunch bookings are recommended. In the afternoon it becomes a tea room serving organic teas and infusions, French-press coffee, homemade lemonade and grandmother-style cakes such as clafoutis, crumbles and carrot cake. Afternoon visits are walk-in only, so seats can run out, and there is a fireside room and a covered terrace.

Mon Chat Pitre Albi
Albi, Occitanie89 mi / 143 km
Mon Chat Pitre Albi is a general bookshop with resident cats on Rue Timbal in the historic centre of Albi, in a former clothing shop. It opened in June 2026 as part of the Mon Chat Pitre ronron-librairie network that started in Aix-en-Provence in 2021, and it is run by owner Emmanuelle with bookseller Assia. Around five or six cats, adopted from shelters and foster families, live in the shop permanently and are not offered for adoption; they move freely among some 8,000 books, including novels, comics, children's books, art books and essays. Visitors can browse and spend time with the cats free of charge, and the shop also sells cat-themed accessories, stationery and gifts. Writing workshops are held in the shop with the cats around.
