Very delighted this landmark old-style cinema is still going strong. Having some time to pass on a Sunday afternoon in Paris before catching a flight we got in line with a large group of people to catch the Le Mans showing. Good to be among fellow enthusiasts with a shared obsession for independent cinema. Add to that the comfortable seats, giant curved screen (no popcorn, that was audible or odoriferous (?) in any case, admission about a bargain at 1.0€, and a can of Lipton 3.0€.
We settled into the back row of the ground based 268-seat orchestra for a quick getaway; there are 2 other levels, a mezzanine and finally a smaller balcony level. The cinema's screen, 18m wide, is one of the largest in France (Europe?) and the group of cinephile owners deserve credit and support for the cinema's restoration.
In summary, a friendly atmosphere and a nice way to pass few hours in Paris - the danger, in our case, was of staying on too long and missing our flight!
