Cinema, theater, bar or restaurant... they're all at Le Lucernaire! If you're in the mood for something a little out of the ordinary, head for the 6th arrondissement of Paris, where art meets art in all its forms.

It's been around for over 50 years! Le Lucernaire was created in 1969, and is one of the few cinemas in Paris to have several different spaces in a single location. At Le Lucernaire, you'll find no fewer than 6 different areas: a cinema, a theater, an exhibition space, a bookshop, a bar and a restaurant.

The cinema has 3 projection rooms, each located in the basement. It's a continuation cinema, so some of the films shown have been out for a few weeks, allowing latecomers to see them. Some art house screenings or films classified as research and discovery are also part of the program, as the cinema is part of this category. Upstairs, above the cinemas and restaurant, are the 3 theaters at Le Lucernaire. This is a theater that strives to offer a wide range of programming, from contemporary and classical theater to young companies. Le Lucernaire also has a theater school for amateurs and professionals alike!

In addition to the cinema and theater, the Lucernaire has a space upstairs where photo exhibitions take place. And if you're feeling peckish in between all these activities, the restaurant on the first floor awaits you. You can also take advantage of the bar and happy hour before the show, with very attractive prices for the 6th arrondissement.

A few blocks from the Lucernaire cinema, you'll also find another art-house cinema: the MK2 Parnasse. As for sightseeing, you're just a 6-minute walk from the famous Luxembourg Gardens, home to the Palais du Luxembourg, the Senate and a new virtual reality center. You can also visit the Tour Montparnasse or see a show at the Grand Point-Virgule theater, both just an 11-minute walk from the cinema.
