Le Select

A Nighttime Hotspot Along the Charente River

When the last visitors leave the ramparts and the lights of the historic center begin to dim, Angoulême reveals a different side of itself. On Boulevard Besson-Bey, Le Select is part of a nightlife scene that comes alive late and keeps the city going until the early morning.

A spot to extend your evening

Le Select comes into its own once the evening is well underway.

Here, the promise is that of a nightclub dedicated above all to music, dancing, and a friendly atmosphere.

Another Side of Angoulême

For the passing traveler, Le Select offers a chance to leave behind, for just one night, the Angoulême of museums, mansions, and painted walls to discover a more spontaneous side of the city.

Besson-Bey Boulevard is one of the hubs of this local nightlife, with several nightspots nearby. Le Select holds a unique place there: a spot known to regulars, focused more on the joy of going out than on a sophisticated nightlife scene.

The Experience

The atmosphere is meant to be festive, warm, and relaxed.

For a more personal experience, arriving early in the evening allows you to take your time settling in before the club gradually picks up the pace.
