Lucernaire, Theatre and cinema in 6th arrondissement, Paris, France.
Lucernaire is a theatre and cinema building in Paris's 6th arrondissement with three theatre spaces and three cinema rooms. These spaces are arranged along an indoor street featuring cobblestones and traditional Parisian lampposts.
This cultural center opened in the 1970s within a former factory building, transforming industrial space into a venue for theatrical arts and independent cinema. The conversion allowed it to become an artistic hub in central Paris.
The venue operates as both an arts school and performance space, hosting regular theatrical productions, art-house films, and musical performances. Visitors encounter an active artistic community focused on independent and experimental works.
The main auditorium seats around 148 people with daily screenings from mid-morning through evening. A restaurant and bookstore are located within the complex for added convenience.
The interior is designed as an actual Parisian street with a Wallace fountain and public benches. This creative layout connects three separate performance spaces under one roof in an unexpected way.
