In [#15 Jetrel] Neelix is playing Tuvok at pool in the holoprogram when he, Neelix, is summoned to the Bridge after Voyager receives a hail from the Haakonian scientist Dr Ma'Bor Jetrel asking to speak to him. During the game the pool term "safety (shot)" is used and it is learned that the pool table "rolls a little to the east".

REAL CHEZ SANDRINE.
In [#22 Non Sequitur] Kim goes to the real Chez Sandrine's in Marseilles, (the same set, with appropriate amendments, is used for filming, of course), to try to convince the alternate reality Tom Paris to help him get back to his own reality.

In [#32 Meld] the holoprogram is the place where Tom Paris initiates and holds his radiogenic sweepstakes, strictly against regulations, until Chakotay arrives, orders the gambling pool discontinued and confiscates the pot. This is actually part of Tom Paris' acting like a malcontent over a period of time in order to provide a plausible reason for him to leave Voyager and be taken aboard a Kazon-Nistrim vessel in the hope of uncovering the traitor on Voyager.

In [#35 Lifesigns] the Doctor takes Danara Pel to the holoprogram where he makes her laugh for the first time in years. They enjoy the companionship they share there. The Doctor later visits there to confide in Tom Paris and ask his advice as he (the Doctor) is falling in love with Danara. After a disastrous moment when the Doctor surprises her by matter-of-factly declaring his feelings so that her instinct is to reject him, Tom Paris and Kes connive to get the couple to spend time together. In the Chez Sandrine holoprogram, Paris tells the Doctor he knows just the holoprogram, and later Danara and the Doctor share a romantic date in another of Paris' holoprogram, this time a parked 1957 Chevy on Mars. The Doctor adds a subroutine to his program to enable him to dance, and he shares a long intimate dance with Danara after she returns to her phage-ridden body. In [#116 Someone To Watch Over Me], the Doctor dances again, with Seven, again in the Chez Sandrine holoprogram.

In [#46 The Swarm], the Doctor utilises the location of the Chez Sandrine holoprogram to study opera. He re-creates a famous historical diva in holographic form but is irritated by her extreme vanity and they fail to complete a duet, the aria 'O Soave fanciulla' from Puccini's opera 'La Boheme'. The Doctor suddenly forgets the words and is berated by the diva. He is interrupted by being called away to treat emergency patients.

In [#116 Someone To Watch Over Me], the Chez Sandrine holoprogram is the scene for the Doctor's attempt to teach Seven how to date and express herself romantically. Leading on from that, it is the scene of her first date, with structural engineer Lieutenant William Chapman, an event which proves disastrous with neither Seven nor Chapman feeling at ease with each other and ending up with him acquiring a torn ligament in his shoulder. The Doctor, there as an observer and taking the role of piano player, diagnoses the torn ligament and orders Chapman away to Sickbay. The evening turns into a success for both the Doctor and Seven as they share a relaxing dance (see note about dancing above under [#35 Lifesigns]). However, the Doctor discovers that his burgeoning romantic feelings for Seven are not reciprocated and he tries to console himself by visiting the Chez Sandrine holoprogram alone and playing on the piano there the end part of a song, the episode's name being the title of that song.

One aspect of the Chez Sandrine holoprogram is that it turns out to be the setting for important developments in romantic relationships. See Romance.

The holoprogram is not seen but is mentioned in the following episodes:

In [#43 Basics, Part Two], the Doctor talks aloud to himself and asks himself rhetorical questions, which reflect his state of agitation at the dire situation of Kazon-Nistrim in occupation of Voyager: "What am I supposed to do? Lead a revolt with a gang from Sandrine's? Conjure up holograms of Nathan Hale and Che Guevara? I'm a doctor, not a counterinsurgent. Get hold of yourself. You're not just a hologram. You're a Starfleet hologram."

In [#67 Worst Case Scenario], in late 2373, Paris enters the holodeck to find Torres in the middle of the holoprogram Insurrection Alpha. He has come looking for her as she is late for their lunch date.

Chakotay addresses the captured prisoners: "Take a good look around you. You're under armed guard. You may also notice that your senior officers aren't here. They're in the Brig. They'll be put off the ship at the first habitable planet we come to, all except Janeway and Paris, who will arrive at their rendezvous co-ordinates to find that Voyager's not there. In short, I've taken control of the ship. I don't blame any of you for the mistakes of your leaders. I'm giving you a choice: you can be put off the ship with your superiors, or you can do what Neelix and some of your other crewmembers have already done and join me." He stops walking around and stops in front of Torres who leans over and tilts her head in order to see round past him. "If you do you'll be part of a crew that'll do whatever it takes to get us home as fast as possible. Under my command we won't let almighty Federation principles get in the way of opportunities, the way that Janeway did when she destroyed the array that could have gotten us home, and we won't be wasting precious time stopping to investigate every insignificant anomaly that we come across. What we will do is use any means necessary to acquire technology that can shorten our journey. To hell with Starfleet regulations. You have fifteen minutes to make up your minds."

Suddenly Paris enters. "B'Elanna. What's going on here?"

Has Paris returned to Voyager and managed to get past the mutineers? No, for Torres orders: "Computer, freeze program." The mutiny was a holoprogram!

Torres: "Are you in the habit of just walking in on other people's private holodeck time?!"
Paris: "It's not as if I caught you dancing the rumba with a naked Bolian. We had a lunch date, remember?"
Torres: "Is it lunchtime already? I must've lost track of the time."

Paris: "Well, I expected to find you shooting pool at Sandrine's, not hanging out with Seska. What sort of program is this anyway?"

Torres and Paris contemplate the frozen holocharacters.

The real Chez Sandrine is mentioned in [#45 The Chute] (but, as mentioned above, is seen only in an alternate reality version in [#22 Non Sequitur]). While incarcerated in an Akritirian prison hell-hole, Paris and Kim fantasise about wonderful food dishes they would like to eat.

Kim: "Damn! I can't think! I can't concentrate!"
Paris: "OK. OK, concentrate on this - crown roast of lamb, with a bed of wild rice, and a 2296 Chateau Lafitte Rothschild at the real Sandrine's."
Kim: "Or how about shrimp with fettran sauce, flambé noodles and fudge ripple pudding."
Paris: "Good one. OK. A couple of barbecued T-bone steaks with baked Risan beans and cherry pie for dessert. Let's see you top that one."
