Cinema for small kids in Paris

Every year Le Forum des Images holds a film festival for small kids (called Le Tout Petits Cinema in French) in the center of Paris (metro Les Halles).

Filled with animated screening and interactive workshops for kids 18 months and up.

It’s mostly in French, but some of the projected films are from all over world: Japan, Germany and The UK.

And for the really small kids many of the films are just accompanied with music instead of dialogue: a cine-concert.

Gaite Lyrique Paris: Steps into the future

One of Paris’ oldest and most beautiful theaters has gotten a new face lift with a whole new attitude. The Gaite Lyrique is now a modern museum with all the finishing touches from the gay old Paris architecture. Opened back in September 1862 the theatre was shut down for renovations from 2004 to 2010 by the City of Paris.

5 of the 7 floors are now open to the public with exhibitions, public work spaces, libraries, play places and even a game arcade/video games floor for the kids and a cafe on the 3rd floor.

The unconventional museum welcomes all, as many sections are accessible free of charge. And they regularly hold work shops, film projections and conferences for the public such as their upcoming “GAME OLDER” a initiation for adults to the world of Video games!
