La Cinémathèque Française - What To Know BEFORE You Go

Ways to visit La Cinémathèque Française

Die-hard movie buffs will love the costumes and props, such as Mrs. Bates’s head from Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, the robot from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, and a camera that belonged to the Lumiére brothers. Film clips accompany many of the objects on display, enhancing the educational experience, and an on-site theater screens several films daily from its huge archive.

Explore La Cinémathèque (along with dozens more of the city’s top attractions) with a Paris Museum Pass or Paris Pass, which is the unlimited version. Both passes come in 2-6-day versions and include unlimited public transportation on select services and free sightseeing tours such as hop-on hop-off buses and a cruise along the Seine.
