I think Peter told me this is the theatre in the movie "Amalie" when she goes to the movies. The photo brings back memories of my own nice day in Montmartre, with Peter showing us around! It's beautifully framed!
They've been showing ads before movies in France for about 50 years. Think I'm used to it by now. (The good news: You can now read a book on your phone while you wait for the movie to start.) Lovely photo, V --
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Loin des multiplex...
Yes, get there early so you don't miss a minute of the half hour of advertisements !
The cinema, like its photo, looks interesting. Warm regards

One hopes France has not given into the same habit of running a half hour of commercials before a movie as we have in North America.
Stuart, sad to hear that! Peter reports that the chairs are the most comfortable however!
ALain, thankfully!
