This summer, experience free outdoor cinema at Paris' Parc de la Villette during the 21st edition of the renowned Open Air Cinema festival. It's a fantastic chance to enjoy captivating films under the stars.
On the occasion of this beloved event, the park welcomes visitors for free, screening cult classics from July 19 to August 21.
The lineup features iconic films like All About My Mother, Taxi Driver, La Haine starring Vincent Cassel, the legendary West Side Story, and more, all tied to this year's theme, "From One Street to Another" — exploring urban stories and street life.
It's the perfect setup for a romantic outdoor evening without breaking the budget. Films start after nightfall; simply find a spot, settle in — perhaps in your lover's arms for warmth — and immerse yourself. Enjoy the show!
Going to the cinema in Paris typically costs around 9 euros per ticket, which can add up quickly. Offering these cult films in an open-air setting at the heart of the city for free is a brilliant move — especially since these classics are rarely rereleased in theaters.
Note: For extra comfort, rent a blanket and deckchair for 7 euros.
