No. 1The most beautiful cinema auditorium in the world

There are auditoriums where you watch films, and then there is the Grande Salle, where the show begins before the film. Beneath its starry sky and Mediterranean palace façades, it has hosted the greatest premieres and welcomed cinema's biggest stars; film lovers have spent unforgettable nights here during landmark retrospectives, and the Féerie des Eaux has burst into life. A visit to Le Grand Rex begins here.
