Studio des Ursulines

Why go

A single-screen cinema in a small, intimate room — one of the oldest surviving cinemas in Paris, opened in 1926. It programmes a thoughtful mix of repertory classics, animated films, children's screenings and special events.

Best for

• English-speaking visitors, via its Lost in Frenchlation partnership
• Repertory classics and restorations in an intimate room
• Animation and dialogue-free films suitable for all audiences

What makes it distinctive

Its collaboration with Lost in Frenchlation (French films screened with English subtitles) makes it one of the most accessible venues in Paris for English speakers. Recent examples have included a restored 4K presentation of Jacques Demy's The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (VF with English subtitles) and Gints Zilbalodis's Flow (dialogue-free).
