Cat Cafes in Ales, Occitanie

Ales, Occitanie

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.
