Cinéma en Plein Air at La Villette

Every summer evening, the Prairie du Cercle Nord in Parc de la Villette transforms into an open-air cinema for the 35th edition of this beloved Parisian festival. This year's theme is nature, with a new LED screen offering two nightly screenings: a family-friendly 6pm show featuring animated and intergenerational films, followed by a 9pm session for older audiences. Attendees can relax on the grass or rent a deckchair and blanket for a small fee.

The festival is a quintessential Paris summer experience, drawing thousands to enjoy films under the stars. After a one-year hiatus due to the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, it returns with an expanded format, promising adventure, emotion, humor, and suspense. Whether you come for the early family screening or the later feature, the atmosphere is convivial and magical, set against the unique backdrop of La Villette.
