Founded in 1938, Le Champo is an art-house cinema in the Latin Quarter that famously attracted cineastes of the “Nouvelle Vague” in the 1960s and 1970s, including Fran\u00e7ois Truffaut and Claude Chabrol. Its notable features include a traditional art-deco facade and an eccentric upstairs screening room that uses a periscope-mirror projection system.<\/p>\n

Cin\u00e9ma du Panth\u00e9on (Oldest) <\/a><\/h2>\nThis historic venue was opened in 1907 in a former gym for students of the Sorbonne. It was bought out in 1929 by Pierre Braunberger, a pioneering producer during the “Nouvelle Vague”, who managed Francois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Goddard and Alain Resnais. This movie theater, which is considered to be one of the oldest in Paris, continues to run as an independent revival house.<\/p>\n

Le Grand Rex <\/a>(Largest)<\/h2>\nOpened in 1932, Le Grand Rex is an extraordinary art-deco construction with a neon glowing tower that you’ll spot from miles off. Boasting 2800 seats, its \u00ab Grande Salle \u00bb is the largest screening room in Europe. The building was temporarily seized by German soldiers during the Occupation and is now listed as a National Monument that consists of 7 screens, a concert hall, museum and underground nightclub.<\/p>\n

Le Louxor <\/a>(Atypical)<\/h2>\nOnce one of Paris’ largest movie theaters distinguished by its neo-Egyptian facade, Le Louxor began as a Franco-American cinema before shifting towards Indian and Arab productions in response to changes in the local demographic. In 1987 it was sold and transformed into Megatown, the largest gay nightclub in Paris. It was then abandoned for more than a decade until it was bought by the City of Paris, who restored the building to its former glory and reopened 3 screens in April 2013.<\/p>\n
