Cinéma du Panthéon
Paris, France
Dating back to 1907, Cinéma du Panthéon is one of the oldest surviving cinemas located on the Left Bank. Showing mostly art and avant garde films, in addition to a selection of obscure international films, the cinema also hosts meet-the-director nights on occasion. Upstairs, housed in an open-plan loft with a charming outdoor terrace, is Le Salon, a lounge bar/restaurant/tea-room designed by none other than famous French actress Catherine Deneuve. At lunch the space is always filled with directors, students and actors, so book in advance or come for tea and cake in the afternoon.
