MK2 Quai de Loire, Movie theater on quai de la Loire, bassin de la Villette, Paris, France

MK2 Quai de Loire is a cinema on the bassin de la Villette in Paris's 19th arrondissement, on quai de la Loire opposite its twin MK2 Quai de Seine. It occupies a renovated former hangar that housed the Villette boating base, a long low building with a dark metal canopy roof on thin columns, dark brick panels alternating with large glass windows, and a white boat docked alongside. It has six halls, two large in the basement and four smaller upstairs, plus a restaurant and a shop.

MK2 Quai de Loire opened on 5 October 2005 as the twin of MK2 Quai de Seine, which had opened on 18 September 1996 as 14-Juillet-sur-Seine and took the MK2 name on 29 April 1998. The Loire building is a renovated former hangar that housed the Villette nautical base, facing its sister cinema across the bassin de la Villette. Its facades carry light signs inspired by films, including Sinéma, les anges sont avec toi by Martial Raysse (2005).

The cinema mainly screens films in their original version, and its facade carries light signs inspired by major films, including Martial Raysse's 2005 work Sinéma, les anges sont avec toi. It regularly hosts MK2 group previews.

MK2 Quai de Loire and its twin MK2 Quai de Seine face each other across the bassin de la Villette, linked by the boat Zéro de conduite, which carries ticket-holders from one bank to the other. Screens sit on two levels: two large halls in the basement, four smaller ones upstairs. The building runs along the quai de la Loire, with the entrance under the dark canopy.

A small boat named Zéro de conduite, built for the purpose, links the two cinemas across the Bassin de la Villette. Ticket holders can cross the water to the sister cinema MK2 Quai de Seine, opened in 1996 in a former Gustave Eiffel hangar from the 1878 Exposition universelle.
