Le CiNey, a neighborhood cinema with a cooperative grocery and a restaurant in Paris’s 18th arrondissement.

A cinema, but also a restaurant, a solidarity grocery, and a space dedicated to youth integration: CiNey has opened its doors in Paris’s 18th arrondissement. Based on Boulevard Ney, this 1,500-square-meter hybrid venue blends culture, food, and neighborhood life.

At 126-128 Boulevard Ney, in the northern part of the 18th arrondissement of Paris, a former DIY shop has been converted into a cinema. Le CiNey has in fact, since 2026, taken over the premises of a former Bricorama. The project dates back to 2020, when a cinema initially imagined as temporary began to take on a more permanent shape. Construction finally kicked off in December 2024, ahead of the opening of the rooms on May 29, 2026.

On the big screen side, the CiNey runs two cinemas, each boasting 85 and 89 seats, with a post-production studio, a music and recording studio, and a versatile, multi-purpose room. And the programming goes beyond the mainstream releases! The venue also hosts独 unique screenings and thematic events, such as Eatfilm, the first documentary cinema festival focused on gastronomy.

Its 1,500 square meters of space is organized around three major hubs: the culture, the 'mieux manger' and the insertion professionnelle. The second hub brings together notably a restaurant, the l'épicerie solidaire La Mouzaïk and the cuisine partagée La Cocotte, led by the Fondation de l'Armée du Salut.

The professional integration aspect, meanwhile, targets 16-25-year-olds, via a Paris Mission Locale office that offers free help with finding work, support for training, and access to rights. This venue thus seriously broadens the definition of neighborhood cinema, just a short walk from Clignancourt and Saint-Ouen.
