In order to make the transmedia project Chasing Bonnie & Clyde (long length feature documentary + interactive concept that embarks you on the tracks of the famous outlaws to explore the programs of rehabilitation for criminals that Texas recently created), we visited the capital of Texas four times in less than a year. So we thought we should share our memories and our favourite spots to hang out, drink, eat and enjoy.

2. We DON’T REALLY know if Bonnie and Clyde stopped in Aus-
tin in the 30s. But we visited the place 4 times the last 10
months to create this transmedia project.
Chasing Bonnie & Clyde (doco + interactive) embarks you on
the tracks of the famous outlaws to explore the programs of
rehabilitation for criminals that Texas recently created.
Told and sung by Black Yaya – leader of folk band
Herman Dune that was often cheered during SXSW
past editions – the project is planned for late 2014.
We thought, let’s give our French frogs advices about
the capital of Texas as we fall deeply in love with it.
Cheers.

3. CENOTE
Sometimes you don’t really know where
you’re heading. But you can feel it: it’s gonna
be alright.
Our first time in Austin we slept on Willow
Street, east of the IH35. Since then we always
choose this right side of the city. This area is
becoming the PLACE to be in Austin.
Start the day as a conqueror by tasting the ni-
cest fair trade coffees at Cenote on East Cesar
Chavez Street.

4. BARTON SPRINGS POOL
That’s the only thing we didn’t try
but we expect you not miss it – when we
went there temperatures were around 30
Fahrenheit degrees (-1 celsius degree).
Austin has several natural pools that are
almost always wet and accessible. En-
joy them to cool off and revitalize your
body. Barton Springs is our favorite as
this big hole of clear water is surrounded
by beautiful trees. Pus the water is almost
always 68 Fehrenheit degrees (20 celsius
degrees).

5. THE MOONSHINE
Okay, it might not be the best in the US
but seriously... grab a Big Red’s BLT with
Apple smoked bacon and an extra of avocado
for 12.95$... Quel délice !
Be prepared to wait in front of the 303 Red
River St. during a while as the place is often
full. Ask for a table on the front terrasse or
even better in the patio at the back and enjoy
the pre-meal popcorn.
It’s our HQ for lunch to recharge our body-bat-
teries.

6. THE TEXAS STATE CAPITOL
No Frank Underwood here but a great
opportunity to take a free tour in the ol-
dest state office building in Texas – it was
constructed from 1882 to 1888.
Sit in the rotunda, watch people walking
by, wander around and try to meet Repre-
sentatives if they’re not in session.
You can even have a glimpse of what it feels
like to be in the Chamber with tour, guided
or not, available in Chinese, French, Ger-
man, Japanese, Italian, Russian, Korean
and Spanish.

7. THE LIZ CARPENTER FOUNTAIN
Thanks to photographers web-
sites, we found the best spots in town
to shoot a sunset.
We wanted this scene for our docu-
mentary and we found the Butler
Park ! Last january it was freezing
but the place is really enjoyable.
Colourful and tricky, the fountain
must be the place to be in summer.
Have a walk around and forget about
your city life.

8. JUSTINe’s
Don’t expect to spend a normal eve-
ning at Justine’s. Once you met Pierre,
the French owner, everything is different.
It’s a bit further East, far from the troubles
of the city... that’s the main reaso why
Pierre choose this spot: he wants people
to know that anything can happen there.
Cocktails, dinners but also parties. You’ll
meet starlettes, vegan gurus and famous
directors.
That’s where the magic happen and that’s
why we like it !

9. WEST AND EAST 6TH STREET
That’s what you’re craving for when
you arrive in Austin. The walkable
crazy musical nightlife.
We did thousands of round trips on
the 6th St. One of our best memory
is in a club that is no longer opened.
We were walking back to our place on
East Cesar Chavez and were caught
by the sound of guitars and drums.
Unlike Ulysse we agreed to give up
our bodies and souls to these melo-
dic mermaids. It was the best band
we ever listened to.
LET GO
7/ reveal your inner devil

10. THE EASY TIGER
We found it as you should find it:
walk back to your place toward the IH
35 ; after Sabine St. have a look on the
right side over the low wall and discover
the Waller Creek ; take a right, go down
the stairs on the left.
Easy Tiger is a bake shop and a beer gar-
den. You should enjoy both. Chill in the
backyard near the water, enjoy a bretzel
with cheese, grab a beer and play ping-
pong.
