[Plan this experience]() [Explore the story]() Cost **Admission** Time to allow **Allow 45 minutes for Rex Studios** Place **Grands Boulevards, Paris** 01 / The experience ### Cinema as a building-sized spectacle. The corner tower of Le Grand Rex gives boulevard Poissonnière one of its clearest entertainment landmarks. Opened in 1932, the cinema belongs to a period when the building around a film could be part of the attraction. Its Art Deco exterior announces that ambition before the audience reaches the doors. #### Inside the atmospheric cinema The main auditorium takes the idea further. Decorative architectural scenery and a vast ceiling create an atmospheric setting, with the screen and stage placed within a much larger imagined world. Seeing the room during a film, concert or architectural visit offers different experiences, so the specific programme matters to the visit. Rex Studios is a separate interactive route through the world of making films. It uses staged spaces such as a director’s office, projection room, effects area and dubbing setting. Le Grand Rex describes it as an imaginary journey behind the scenes: its interest is participation and cinema craft, rather than a promise that every working technical area will be open. #### Rex Studios and separately booked visits That distinction makes the venue particularly versatile. A visitor interested in the building can select an architectural tour when offered; someone drawn to film-making can choose Rex Studios; an evening audience can attend the actual screening or stage event. Products may combine elements, but their stated inclusions determine access. Outside, the illuminated frontage remains part of the [Grands Boulevards]() street scene. [Passage des Panoramas]() , [Passage Jouffroy]() and [Passage Verdeau]() offer a smaller-scale architectural sequence nearby, while [Bouillon Chartier Grands Boulevards]() gives a classic dining-room counterpart to the cinema’s large public interior. ![Le Grand Rex, Paris]() Culture & landmarks **Le Grand Rex** Paris In pictures ### The full gallery. 02 / The essentials ### Le Grand Rex: visit essentials 1. 01 Grands Boulevards 2. 02 Allow 45 minutes for Rex Studios; longer for a guided visit or film 3. 03 Screenings, architectural visits and Rex Studios are separate products; prices depend on your choice. 04 / Before you go ### Plan your visit An Art Deco cinema landmark with a grand atmospheric auditorium and a separate interactive film-making tour. #### Admission Screenings, architectural visits and Rex Studios are separate products; prices depend on your choice. #### Opening & visit Screening and visit times follow the current programme; Rex Studios has its own opening calendar. #### Arrival The main cinema frontage is at 1 boulevard Poissonnière, near Bonne Nouvelle métro.
