It was once owned by Luc Besson, but he sold his stake in the theater to another group. That's fine, as long as they keep the theater running and awesome. When we were in Paris, the repertoire movie they were showing was by chance, one of my husband's favorites - Fight Club! The theater itself is almost like an art museum, with a cool little tree shaped bench that is attached to the celling in a mushroom style, right in the middle. The screens in the theaters are top notch, with clear imagery, amazing sound, and comfortable seating. They even have fancy snacks, like ice cream, high end chocolates, and even Starbucks coffee! If you're a movie lover and you're visiting Paris, you'll have a plethora of theaters to visit. But definitely make Pathé one of your options!

Great movie theater in Paris! It's around a lot of shops and restaurants in a lovely area. Full…read moreprice tickets are around 17.50 euros (very pricey in my opinion), student tickets are 12.50, and under 14 years old are around 8.49 euros. They have plenty of snack options, which I've wanted to buy, but are overpriced compared to the US. $8 for a bag of M&Ms is wild to me. When I go it's just to watch a movie and leave. I haven't checked out any other theaters in Paris yet.

We refused and insisted that they dig the ticket stump out of the pile that says we already paid for the glasses (this is where it's helpful to be fluent in French). They refused and we had to argue with them for 10 mins before they finally just gave us the glasses. When we went into the theater several other families were complaining about the same scam. Be warned, not an honest business. To add insult to injury, the power just went out in the entire theater. what a joke
