The Montparnasse district is a rich place for cinephiles. Several cinemas are nestled here, from the Gaumont Parnasse to the 7 Parnassiens or the MK2 Parnasse, classified as art et essai. The district is also home to the independent Le Bretagne cinema on Boulevard du Montparnasse in Paris's 6th arrondissement. But no doubt because of its richness, Le Bretagne was no longer attracting audiences, and closed its doors for good on November 14.
Founded by Joseph Rytmann in 1961, this art house cinema had two screens, including an 800-seat panoramic, making it the third largest cinema in Paris after the Grand Rex and UGC Normandie.
Owned by Pathé, which also owns the Pathé Parnasse and Gaumont Miramar a few dozen meters away, the company has not yet decided what will become of the premises. For the brand, it's impossible to turn it back into a cinema, and the premises are too small to be used as a theater. According to Aurélien Bosc, President of Pathé Cinémas, in an article in Le Figaro, Pathé will"study other possibilities, in discussion with the co-owners and the city of Paris".
