La Pagode
A classified historical monument, this Chinese-style pagoda was shipped to France, piece by piece, in 1895 by Monsieur Morin (the then proprietor of Le Bon Marché), who had it rebuilt in his garden on rue de Babylone as a love present for his wife. The wife clearly wasn’t too impressed – she left him a year later. But Parisian cinéphiles who flock here to revel in its eclectic programme are. La Pagode has been a fantastic, atmospheric cinema since 1931 – don’t miss a moment or two in its bamboo-enshrined garden.

Le Champo
This is one of the most popular of the many Latin Quarter cinemas, featuring classics and retrospectives looking at the films of such actors and directors as Alfred Hitchcock, Jacques Tati, Alain Resnais, Frank Capra and Woody Allen. One of the two salles (cinemas) has wheelchair access. A couple of times a month Le Champo screens films all night for night owls kicking off at midnight (three films plus breakfast €15).

Forum des Images
This archive cinema beneath the sprawling Forum des Halles is a superb place to see rarely screened and little known films, especially ones that deal with Paris as a theme or have the City of Light as the setting. There are usually between four and five screenings a day.

Cinémathèque Française
A two-minute walk south from the metro along rue de Bercy, this national institution is a temple to the ‘seventh art’ and always leaves its foreign offerings – often rarely screened classics – in their original language.
