Grand Rex
Le Grand Rex is a cinema and concert venue in Paris, France.
It is located at No. 1, boulevard Poissonnière in the 2nd arrondissement, on the grands boulevards.
Its facades and roofs, as well as its hall and its decor, have been listed as a Monument historique since a decree on October 5, 1981. This giant cinema has a capacity of more than 2,700 people in its great hall and posts an average attendance level of 1 million visitors per year.
Le Grand Rex is served by the Metro lines 8 and 9 at the Bonne-Nouvelle station, as well as by bus lines 20, 32, and 39.
In the early 1930s, Jacques Haïk, a wealthy movie producer, distributor and owner of the Olympia, got the idea of building a very extravagant cinema: which could have a capacity of more than 5000 spectators on a surface area of 2,000 m², with a ceiling peaking at more than 30 meters, representing a luminous starry vault.
Its designers are the architect Auguste Bluysen and the engineer John Eberson. The façade was designed by the sculptor Henri-Édouard Navarre and the decoration of the great hall was by Maurice Dufrêne.
The Grand Rex is a scale model of the famous Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
The cinema is also known for its interior décor. Specialized in "atmospheric halls", its architects built more than 400 decors of phantasmatic cities under cloudy, clear or starry skies in the United States.
