La Villette's open-air film festival won't be taking place in 2024 due to the Olympic Games. We'll have to wait until summer 2025 to discover a month of free, open-air film screenings to watch while lounging on the great lawn of La Villette.

As a reminder, here's what's on offer for the 2023 edition of the festival

The open-air cinema at La Villette is one of the must-see events of theParisian summer. Once again this year, we're delighted to welcome you to this free film festival, from July 19 to August 20, 2023, where you can (re)discover cinema classics, new films and unexpected nuggets.

From Wednesday to Sunday, you'll be able to enjoy these screenings under the stars on the cool grass of the La Villette lawn, or in the comfort of a deckchair! Access to the cinema is free as long as seats are available, but you'll have to pay €7 (€20 for 5) for the deckchairs, which come with a blanket. The theme of this year's festival is "Team Spirit": just the thing to warm us up in the run-up to the 2024 Olympic Games!

The La Villette Film Festival offers a total of more than twenty evenings to immerse yourself in the heart of the seventh art while enjoying the mild summer evenings in the capital! Children won't be left out either, with a dedicated program on Saturday July 22 and Sunday July 23, 2023, with the Little Cinéma d'été !

Finally, note that the Eté du Canal and its boat cruises offer guided tours of the Canal de l'Ourq - just before you reach the lawn for the giant screen projections.
