Le Saint-Germain-des-Pres

Le Saint-Germain-des-Pres is a single-screen theater with 252 seats arranged on a sloping floor that gives every viewer a clear view of the screen. The theater sits in the 6th arrondissement surrounded by restaurants and cafes.

The theater opened in 1969 with a different name and changed its identity in the mid-1980s. Since then it has maintained its current name and continued operating as a neighborhood cinema.

The cinema programs French and international films in a way that reflects the artistic tastes of its neighborhood. Visitors encounter both current releases and lesser-known works that fit with the area's history as a hub for writers and artists.

The theater is within walking distance of subway stops in the area and easy to reach on foot. Since this is a traditional single-screen cinema, it helps to check the program in advance rather than expecting multiple options.

The cinema has kept its original single-screen design while other theaters in the area switched to multiplexes. This choice makes it an unusual example of a traditional film space in a changing neighborhood.
