It almost sounds too good to be true: to celebrate 25 years of the Fête du Cinéma, you have a whole seven days to catch up on your favourite old films or see the latest blockbusters at the amazing price of 3€. Buy any full price seat between 27th June and 3rd July, and you’ll get the Fête du Cinéma card. This allows you to get all your next tickets at just 3€ until the 3rd July!

12 films are being released the week before the festival, and 16 others come out during the time it is on, including Tranformers 2, Ice Age 3, Whatever Works (the new Woody Allen)…

As you may know, the area around our hotels is a cinema-goers paradise. You could easily avoid the blockbusters and catch up on some classic movies instead. For example, a freshly restored copy of Jacque Tati’s Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot comes out on 1st July.
