Looking for a nice little spot to chill out with your friends after an endless 3-hour-microeconomics class? No problem, Amerigo Vespucci has the answer…at least Amerigo Vespucci AVENUE has: it’s Théobar, a 1-year-old coffe shop, owned by Marie and her lifepartner, David ( the creator of the concept), who both wanted to create an original and cozy place.
What makes this place so special is its”ethical” aspect: “We believe in human economic development”says Marie for whom the words ‘trade’ and ‘humanity’ are not antinomic. Marie and David used to travel a lot when younger and their nomadism is undoubtedly what’s been inspiring them so much, especially Marie who’s been to Africa many times. Hence the choice of fair-trade products such as coffees and fruitjuices.
You may think that such choices have consequences on the prices, but Marie assures us that it doesn’t: “The quality and the choice of our products don’t make it impossible for us to offer reasonable prices”. Indeed, the cup of nicaraguayan coffee from fair-trade will cost you 1.5€ , the price of a coffee you drink in a bar of La Rochelle’s Old Harbour…so now the choice is yours…

ideal for a tea break between two classes
