Stretching gracefully through the 11th arrondissement, Boulevard Richard-Lenoir is more than just a street, it’s a leafy promenade steeped in Haussmannian history. Built over the Canal Saint-Martin, it’s now a green artery filled with markets, fountains, and shaded benches where locals linger and life slows down.
The Majestic Bastille, a cinema with a story as rich as its films. Originally opened in the 1930s as the Bastille-Palace, it’s survived changing times—from cowboy western flicks to adult movies before being revived in the 1990s as a beloved arthouse venue. Today, it’s known for its intimate atmosphere, carefully curated screenings, and, in true Parisian flair, even dog-friendly movie nights.
Together, the boulevard and cinema offer a snapshot of Paris at its best, where history, community and quiet surprises live side by side.
