Caféline
Chalon Sur Saone, Bourgogne Franche Comte
Caféline is a cat cafe due to open in autumn 2026 on Rue des Poulets in the old town of Chalon-sur-Saône, near Saint-Vincent Cathedral, the first of its kind in the town. Founder Isoline Denet, a trained barista who holds the French certificate for keeping domestic cats, is setting it up over two floors, with a ground floor laid out like a traditional coffee bar and a cosier upstairs room fitted with cat trees, hammocks and wall shelves. Five cats will live in the cafe, fostered for the rescue association Nouveau Chat'pitre 71, and visitors who connect with one will be able to adopt it through the association. Coffee and pastries will be served, and the cats will be free to come to guests rather than being picked up.
