Le Crystal
Juan-les-Pins' ice-cream bar that becomes a late-night meeting point
A Juan-les-Pins institution by the Pinède: ice cream and crêpes by day, tapas, cocktails and live or lounge music into the night.
Why VERA picked it
Juan-les-Pins was built on late nights. Le Crystal is where the evening begins and often ends, a few steps from the Pinède and the jazz festival.
A Juan-les-Pins fixture
Juan-les-Pins has been a place for summer nights since the jazz age, and Le Crystal belongs to that tradition. Set on the passage off Avenue Georges Gallice, close to the Pinède Gould where Jazz à Juan is held, it is described by the tourist office as the unmissable bar-glacier of the resort and a meeting place for everyone.
Day and night
The same terrace does two jobs. In the afternoon it is an ice-cream parlour, with ice-cream crêpes and snacks. As the evening comes, it becomes a bar, serving cocktails and long drinks with tapas and kemia, the small plates that come with an aperitif in the south.
