Open-Air Cinema at the Parc de la Villette

If you're Parisian, this cinema has at one point been in your repertoire. During the gorgeous summer months, Parisians and tourists alike, find their way to the ultra chic Parc de la Villette in northern Paris. With blankets, chairs and single serving items in tow, this open-air theatre is a temporary installation to accommodate the movie lovers in an outdoor space. Generally this cinema is free of charge and usually has at least one showing every night for a month with films ranging from classic love stories to recent suspense. Couples are sure to experience the rapture of love during these blissful cinematic evenings!

Centre Georges Pompidou Cinemas

If you're the type of film fanatic that has a deep appreciation for not only the final product, but the intense labor of love behind the movie, this cinema is just for you. The two theatres housed in this centre, take filmmaking just as serious as you! Most of the showings focus around the retrospectives of the director's philosophies and proclivities rather than the actor's need to be the character (although this does play a major role). Instead, the programming aims to engage to viewer in a dialogue between the production and the spectator. This is extremely stimulating for those who are analytical and enjoy the puzzling features some films tend to exhibit. Definitely visit this cinema if you're up for an intellectual challenge and an adventure! 

La Cinémathèque Française

La Cinémathèque Française is one of the fundamental establishments in the Paris film industry. Over 70 years old, this center was recently transformed from a left-bank building designed by an American architect. With over 40,000 films on its dossier, this cinema is world renowned for its unique programming of revivals, festivals and directorial tributes. A key tourist attraction for film lovers is a museum housing pieces of cinema history. This theatre is definitely worth seeing both as a museum and for a movie!

There is nothing more beautiful than Paris! If you try booking a holiday apartment online you can probably stay in a rustic little flat right up the street from some of the most historic cinemas in the city! Paris is a city to explore and really get to know. If you don't meet anyone here, you'll be sure to at least meet yourself!
