Open-air cinema at La Villette is a must for Parisian summer evenings! Every summer for over 35 years, the prairie du triangle in the Parc de la Villette has become the largest open-air cinema in Paris, with free admission.
Join us from July 22 to August 16, 2026 for a wide selection of films to watch on the big screen and in the open air - all in VO with French subtitles.
The 2026 edition brings together a selection of films around a new theme : call of the wild.
6 p.m. screenings for young and old, with a selection of intergenerational films.
The new screen makes it possible to bring forward screenings to 9pm (for classic sessions): films can start before nightfall, allowing spectators to leave before the last metro.
A 100% online ticketing service on villette.com to reserve deckchairs.
How to get there:
Now an emblematic event, this free festival is an opportunity for the public to discover or revisit cinematic masterpieces; families, friends and neighbors come to laugh, marvel, be frightened and travel. With Europe's largest inflatable screen (544 m²), the 20,000 m² of lawn welcomes an average of 150,000 spectators over the course of a month for these outdoor film screenings. What also sets the La Villette open-air cinema apart is the richness and diversity of its programming.

If you take a cruise on the Ourcq , you'll be back in time to enjoy an open-air screening.
