Lumière Terreaux, Movie theater in the 1st arrondissement, Lyon, France
Lumière Terreaux is a cinema at 40, rue du Président-Édouard-Herriot in the 1st arrondissement of Lyon, near the place des Terreaux. It has four screens seating 110, 40, 43 and 61 people, 254 seats in all. It belongs to the Cinémas Lumière network, whose colour code gives it black, alongside the Lumière Fourmi and Lumière Bellecour.
Robert Gilbert opened the CNP Terreaux in 1976, the first CNP cinema in Lyon after the network began in Villeurbanne. In November 2014 the Institut Lumière bought it along with the CNP Bellecour; both closed on 14 December 2014 for renovation work, notably to meet the new accessibility law, and were placed under Sylvie Da Rocha's direction. The CNP Terreaux reopened on Wednesday 23 March 2016 with about 255 seats instead of 340, and in February 2017 the Lumière network's cinemas were renamed, making it the Lumière Terreaux.
The cinema is classified as "art et essai", a French label for venues that show independent and non-mainstream films. It belongs to the Cinémas Lumière network alongside the Lumière Fourmi and Lumière Bellecour, and its colour within that network is black. It is located at 40, rue du Président-Édouard-Herriot, near the place des Terreaux.
The theater sits in the Presqu'île, the peninsula district between the Rhône and the Saône rivers, and is easy to reach on foot from the city center. An elevator and platforms are available for wheelchair users, and the program can be checked online in advance to plan your visit.
