The Méliès cinema is a veritable institution in Montreuil. Named in homage to the film director Georges Méliès, who created the first French film studio in the town, it has been thrilling lovers of the 7th art for over 50 years. Originally, it was located in the heart of a shopping mall at Croix-de-Chavaux station. Since 2018, this temple to the 7th art has undergone a renaissance with the construction of a dedicated complex opposite the town hall, a stone's throw from the Mairie de Montreuil station on line 9.
It is now Europe's largest public art house cinema. In all, it boasts 6 digital projection rooms (4K, 3D and 35 mm) and 1105 seats. It offers a varied program of popular, arthouse and heritage films, as well as regular festivals to rediscover classics and forgotten works, and special nocturnes with screenings throughout the night. For teenagers in particular, there are also Japanim sessions dedicated to Japanese animation.
For families, the cinema offers a special program for young audiences, with screenings followed by a snack, or "babies welcome" screenings where you can attend with an infant under 7 months, as changing tables are available in the cinema. Accessible to people with reduced mobility, the cinema also offers screenings adapted for the visually and hearing impaired, senior citizens and those with behavioral disabilities.
Prices remain affordable: €7 for full price, €5 for reduced price tickets, €4 for under 26s and special screenings, and a €1 surcharge for 3D screenings. Le Méliès also boasts its own rooftop bar, with a canteen that's also reasonably priced, and toys for youngsters.
