Au Chafé
Bergerac, Nouvelle Aquitaine
Au Chafé is a bar à chats on Rue Prosper Faugère in the centre of Bergerac, in the Dordogne, which opened in late summer 2026. The cats in the café come from local associations, working with the SPA, and all are up for adoption; several have already gone to new homes since the opening. Visitors drop in for specialty coffee, tea, hot chocolate, lattes such as ube and vanilla, and homemade cakes like banana bread, carrot cake and crumble, and spend time with the cats at their own pace in a calm, cosy room where reading is encouraged. There is no entry fee; guests simply order from the menu. The café also runs creative workshops, cat yoga sessions and other events, which can be booked online, and sells a little merchandise.
