The Grand Rex is the most spectacular cinema in Paris — a 1932 Art Deco movie palace on the Grands Boulevards, a listed historic monument, with a vast auditorium under a star-studded ceiling and an interior styled like a fantastical Mediterranean courtyard. It's still a working cinema (and concert venue), and seeing a film in the main hall is an event in itself.
There's also a behind-the-scenes tour ('Les Étoiles du Rex'). For old-Hollywood-in-Paris glamour, nothing else compares — go see anything, just to sit in the room.
