The Moulin Rouge in Paris is opening an outdoor rooftop cinema for summer

Following the likes of La Villette, le Château de Vincennes and the Champs-Élysées, the Moulin Rouge is also trying its hand at hosting an outdoor cinema this summer. On the rooftop, alongside the Bar à Bulles, Parisians will be able to enjoy classic indie cinema from July 10 to September 11. “Le Bonheur” by Agnès Varda will be the first picture to show, acting as a beautiful tribute to the new wave director who died last March. The selection of films varies in genre, giving pride of place to gender equality (as many female directors as male), and all screenings are 100% free, évidemment.
