Cinemas Central

The address of the cinephiles and for good reason: here is the biggest art house cinema in Europe with 7 comfortable rooms. On the screen, a quality program, documentaries, and films for the general public, in subtitled V.O. For film lovers: previews and meetings with directors, a free access library and festivals (Désirs Désir, Viva il Cinema...). A must: the Studio Night in June to watch great classics on the "black screen of our sleepless night". The cafeteria will treat you to home-made and cheap products.

Ideally located a stone's throw from the train station, this multiplex is also halfway between its big brother, the Deux-Lions, and the Studio art house cinema. The general public and the more confidential, V.O. and V.F. films are mixed together every week. There are regular special cycles (Disney classics, Harry Potter saga, Horror night...). As for comfort, everything is there: air conditioning, Dolby digital sound, digital image, PMR access, 3D, and a large choice of sweets for the greedy! For those who have foresight: you can reserve your seat online. Smart tip: ask at the reception desk for free parking in the Vinci parking lot.

The cinema Les Carmes has the charm of the art house cinemas, offering a specialized program of films. It is the last one in town that dares to show films that are not seen in mainstream cinemas, but everyone can find pleasure in watching rare works, openly defended by the friendly team. There is also a strong program for children as well as for opera lovers. A fourth room has also been added to this place where the darkness is a jewel box for dreams..

Located as its name suggests in the Deux Lions district, this multiplex is the family and general public cinema of the CGR franchise in Tours. Large parking lot, hall with video games and candy counter: access is easy and you can wait for a while. The twelve theatres are accessible to the handicapped and comfortable (armchairs spaced more than one metre apart). The programming plays the card of big productions, which can often be enjoyed in 3D. We love the ICE-Immersive Cinema Experience, with its reclining club chairs, 4K resolution image and Dolby Atmos sound. Previews are frequent, and when you leave the theatre you can enjoy the surrounding restaurants.

From the old cinema that was installed here in the last century, it only kept the name and facade of white stone. But since then, it has grown considerably, and today we can see around this old window, a metal lace that gives its appearance to the imposing building. If it can give the impression of being still in work, the interior of the cinema is very spacious - with the exception perhaps of the entrance hall, which is crowded when the crowd presses to see one of the films in the poster. Fortunately, the rooms are very comfortable and rather elegant. Every week, more than films are offered, and there are usually for all tastes. As for the price of entries, they are unfortunately available (the cinema can afford it, as it has the monopoly over the chartraine agglomeration), but know that if you are amateurs of fast food you can benefit from various discounts in the restaurants Mc Donald's Chartres, thanks to your movie tickets. They also guarantee 50% discount to the Q-Park underground car park (Saint-Michel), within a maximum of 2 hours.

The two Pathé of Orléans and Saran cinemas welcome you every day and offer some movies in V.O and in 3 D. You will still have to pay € 2 for the 3 D meetings and € 1 for the pair of reusable glasses. Côté equipment, the Saran de Saran is designed on the same par as its two congeners in Orléans: giant screens, digital Dolby, large armchairs with cup door, what to eat on site… with a nice summer terrace and a Häagen-Dazs counter for the Halles, in continuous service from until. Now have 12 rooms for the Pathé des Halles, 9 for that of Saran and 6 for that of Arc Square, the last born of the siblings since 2013, UGC UGC completely renovated. The price side is always more expensive: 11,40 € at full rate. We advise you to subscribe to the loyalty card. It is completely free and allows, among other small advantages, to earn, by accumulation of points, free spaces. Other good plan, Pathé des Halles sells tickets for the Carpentry car park just next to 2 € for 3 hours of parking. The parking of Saran is entirely free. In these temples, a little more user friendliness would not harm, but in obscure rooms the magic of the seventh art works here as elsewhere!

This art and essay film offers two or three projections per day according to the availability of the volunteers that the association turns the shop (or rather the reel!), including at least one film and test per week. The only room has 230 seats and has digital equipment in 2012 (for its part, the building has been renovated in the last decade). Volunteers meet once a month to exchange agendas and discuss programming. Their choices are obvious, as they record more than 11 000 entries per year. For the story, actress Coline Serreau is the patron of the cinema. A safe value!

Opened in 2018 in Tours Nord, near the Vaucanson streetcar, CinéLoire has won over all the residents of Tours Nord and the surrounding area. Passed in 2020 under the Pathé-Gaumont umbrella, the 9-screen complex has an IMAX theater that plunges viewers right into the action. Many films are also offered in 3D, and for those in the back of the theater or in the front row, the numbered seating option is available for free. Unlimited monthly subscriptions and discount cards will satisfy moviegoers, as will previews and other events. And as an added bonus, there are restaurants nearby to enjoy before or after the movie.
