Especially if you’re going with your family! But that’s not to mention Paris Secret, which is making your cultural life easier by offering you 5great ways to go to the movies without breaking the bank. It remains to be decided which film to go and see at the moment. Pop the popcorn!
1. Le Grand Rex
Cinephiles think big in this majestic hall where EVERYTHING is impressive. From the halls to the roof… It’s impossible not to feel very small when sitting in one of the 2,702 seats in the Grande Salle, especially when the films are shown in the Grand Large (with its 280 m2 screen). However, don’t be fooled by the size of the place, prices are minis. At the Grand Rex we don’t want you to pay 12 euros for your ticket; we break prices in half. Indeed. At €6.99 a ticket, we’re going to the movies, and not just once!
