The Fête du Cinéma 2026 returns from Sunday, June 28 to Wednesday, July 1, 2026, with screenings at 5 euros at participating cinemas. For a family outing with kids, teens, or a broader family, here’s our pick of films to watch with the family during the event.
Animated films, broadly accessible comedies, family-friendly adventures or classics worth rediscovering: the Fête du Cinéma lets you catch the latest releases at a reduced price. That said, not all animated films are necessarily aimed at the youngest viewers; some titles may be more suitable for teenagers or adults.
