Every year, Parisians enjoy the best free open-air cinemas. And what better place to enjoy a canvas on the grass after dark than the Cour d’Honneur at the Château de Vincennes? But this year, due to the Olympic and Paralympic Games the now famous “Une toile sous les étoiles” festival is moving… What substitute location? What kind of program? We tell you all about it.
No open-air cinema in the Cour d’Honneur at the Château de Vincennes this summer. Yes, but why?
This summer, numerous open-air cinemas were organized in the run-up to the Olympic Games. Others have literally been cancelled and postponed until 2025, such as the la Villette open-air cinema. And another cinephile darling is changing his plans this year. This is the une toile sous les étoiles” free film festival. As usual, aesthetes could enjoy 3 evenings of screenings under the stars, musical entertainment and food-truck meals for the whole family. But here’s the thing. Une toile sous les étoiles won’t be taking place this summer in the Cour d’Honneur at Château de Vincennes, as usual…
In 2024: a change of scenery for “Une toile sous les étoiles” (A Canvas Under the Stars)
This summer, in July and August, the Château de Vincennes will be the scene of a host of events surrounding the Olympic and Paralympic Games. A real celebration site will be set up, with a giant screen broadcasting the events continuously. Sport, leisure, catering… We’ve thought of everything to ensure a convivial experience. From August 28 to 31, a Paralympic village will be set up in front of the town hall. And it’s right here that the “Une toile sous les étoiles” festival will take place after dark. Program: open-air cinema screenings (always free) to re(discover) excellent French films. And as you’ve no doubt guessed, this year the 7th art will be blending in with the themes of sport and inclusion.
