La Pagode, Historic cinema in 7th arrondissement of Paris, France

The two-story Japanese-style pagoda features intricate architectural details, stained glass windows, and gold-leaf ornamentation throughout its interior spaces.

François Emil Morin, director of Le Bon Marché department store, commissioned architect Alexandre Marcel to build this pagoda in 1896 as a birthday gift for his wife.

The building transformed from a private residence into a cinema in 1931, becoming the only movie theater in the 7th arrondissement of Paris.

The cinema required extensive renovations in 2015, leading to its temporary closure while maintaining its status as a protected historical monument.

During World War II, the cinema served as a meeting point for French Resistance members while maintaining limited film screenings.
