La Manotte is a libertine club in the Cantal, at the hamlet of La Bessaire on the D909 near Garabit in the commune of Loubaresse — high, remote country in the Massif Central, close to the Garabit viaduct. It is run by Eric and Militsa, who write the club's own new-year greetings to its guests on its front page, and it works by season: the 2026 season reopened on 3 April.

The week is two nights, both announced on the club's own agenda: Friday is a mixed libertine night from 23:00, and Saturday is a couples-and-trios night from 22:30, each running to five in the morning. The club takes contact by phone and through its own social channels, and keeps an agenda mailing list.

Beyond that the club publishes very little about itself — no room list, no facilities, no prices and no photographs of the premises — so it is worth calling before making the drive. Browse our Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes listings for the region's other clubs and venues.
