The Formula 1 simulator
This simulator is identical to those used by the drivers of the major racing teams during training. You don’t have to start off with your head down and your feet on the ground: you first have to warm up your tyres and be careful when shifting gears so as not to destroy your engine before speeding around the circuit. Be careful, though, because going off the road at almost 300 km/h is really scary. Luckily, it’s all virtual!
Interactive darts
Forget the image of the old British pub dartboard. Here an entirely new world awaits you, with professional dartboards that look exactly like those used in international competitions. You can monitor your score live and access different game modes.
American Pool
You know Martin Scorcese’s film “The Colour of Money”, in which Paul Newman plays a pool champion who meets a promising young player played by Tom Cruise? Anyway, the pool tables at Mediterraneo would have been a perfect fit for the film: they’re pro pool tables!
The classics: pinball and table football
A play area without pinball machines and table football? Take it from us, as connoisseurs: try the “extra ball(1)” to extend your games or the “special(2)” to restart them. And what about the “gamelle(3)” in table football?
Retrogaming
Arcade game enthusiasts, this is the place for you! A host of consoles await you, to play alone or with friends. A trip back in time, where we enjoyed rediscovering the charm of those large pixels on the screen.
The pétanque court
This pétanque court is a return to the Mediterranean roots of this venue. We just hope you don’t have to “kiss Fanny(4)“!
All that’s left for you to do is choose the activity you’d like to try out with friends or family, or just have some fun playing by yourself.
And to add to the fun, there’s also the gourmet food hall: the range of food and drink on offer has been extended to cover more than just Mediterranean cuisine, with pokes, Chinese noodles and Mexican tacos. But their loyal customers need not worry: their favourite Mediterranean dishes are always on the menu (we especially like the foccacia) and are always carefully prepared on site, using fresh, high-quality ingredients! Read all about it here.
(1)Extra ball: additional ball offered depending on the number of points scored.
(2)Special: completion of a complicated sequence to win a free game.
(3)Gamelle: when the table football ball is hit so hard into the goal that it bounces back out.
(4)Fanny: originally, when the final score was 13-0, the loser had to kiss the bottom of a female figure known as Fanny.
