Cinemas Normandy

The Select cinema in Granville is one of the oldest in France. Renovated many times, it is located in the heart of the city. With three theatres with nearly 500 seats, it offers a very eclectic programme that mixes auteur films and big productions. The price range is very affordable with a real favourite for the morning or evening sessions: only €5! Living in Normandy or just passing through Granville, don't hesitate to open the doors of this human-sized and very warm cinema.

It's so good to have a movie in one of the rare human-sized cinemas that still exist in our beautiful country! But who says small, does not say under-equipped: 285 places and 7 places for wheelchairs (which do not always exist in the multiplexes!), balcony of 92 places, comfort seats, Dolby Digital system, surround EX to THX standards (for the experts), all this in an atmosphere to the "Grand Rex" with blue night decoration and starry sky. The Royal has everything of a great one, the charm and the conviviality in more.

As far as we are concerned, we are far from the excessive multiplexes that are projecting only general public films, and show little interest in more intimate works. This 212-seat room allows you to rediscover the convivial atmosphere of the cinemas, and incidentally, to pass rainy days. Reasonable prices and organization of special evenings with debate.

Taken over by the CGR group, which already has a multiplex near the Cité de la Mer, the Odeon cinema is located in the heart of the city, almost opposite the swing bridge and the commercial basin. Recently renovated, with 5 beautiful rooms for a total of 1,025 seats, it offers a program ranging from mainstream films to more intimate feature films. This cinema, with its stormy history, often threatened with closure, has thus become once again one of the must-see places for the city's moviegoers. We highly recommend this nice place!

Much more than a cinema, the Lux is a meeting place. Classified as Art et Essai, Recherche et Découverte, and Jeune Public, it defines itself as "militant", so fans beware! With three cinemas accessible to people with reduced mobility (even the smallest cinema in the world with only one seat!), blockbusters screened in their original version or small auteur films, evenings with film crews and previews, there's something for everyone! Inaugurated in 1960, Cinéma Lux also offers a video club, exhibitions and a cafeteria.

It's true, we don't go to Bayeux to haunt obscure rooms. That said, a rain afternoon, when children are saturated with cultural visits, a good canvas, it makes good! The Melies, a friendly atmosphere of a small province in the vicinity of the large impersonal complexes, offers several films per day. And because small room does not mean ringarde programming, the Melies glue up to film news and practical as well digital as the 3 D!

The Arromanches 360 circular cinema overlooks the remains of one of the two artificial harbours installed by the Allies. Produced by the authors of the Apocalypse series, this 9-screen HD film uses archive footage from around the world to tell the whole story of the terrible Battle of Normandy.

Commercial blockbusters, films d'auteur, independent films, original version with subtitles, concerts and plays demonstrate the venue's determination to appeal to all audiences! With 10 theaters and 1,795 seats, plus a 3D and 4DX theater, there's something for everyone. It's up to you to choose, and choose well, because at over 15 euros a ticket, you'd better not choose the wrong film! But we have to admit that the D-Box armchair is surprising.

It is the biggest cinema complex in the center of the Channel! Cinémoviking has no less than 9 cinemas, nearly 1,500 seats and a very exhaustive program: you will discover blockbusters, but also older films, with the association "Back to the reel" which organizes unexpected projections here! Regularly, actors and actresses come here for promotion. Finally, note that you can also reserve your seats on the website, and that parking is easy and fast: practical!

Well known, this nice cinema is located a few steps away from the town hall of the delegated commune of Equeurdreville. Here, festivals are proposed, notably the Palac'Escale which celebrated, for example, the films shot in La Hague. Art et essai, current or independent, the programming is open to all ages. The establishment has a 284-seat theatre and the monthly programme is available upon request by email. Throughout the year, many conferences and animations are also proposed.

The Sirius, already classified as Art and Trial, will soon become the centre of Art and Test du Havre, since the closure of the room L'Eden (the volcano cinema). Proximity to the university prevailed over the other places (Clubs and Studio) that could claim to this appellation, which seems to be very envied. It would be tempting to write that this is the last quarter of the neighbourhood in Le Havre, and this gives this place all the nobility that is worth passionate.

With three halls, the largest of which has 240 seats, film classified Art and Trial, the Sirius would be as a necessary small star in the local film panorama. Good programming in children's movies, preferential rates for students - cinema is next to the university - work with and around schools.

If we had to award the prize for the most friendly and dynamic local cinema on the coast, we would roll out the red carpet at the Cabieu. Classified as Art et Essai, this cinema can boast of being sponsored by two stars of the 7th art: Catherine Frot and Jacques Perrin, if you please! Debates with the actors, film-snacks, VO sessions, baby movies (for parents with strollers), and even yesterday's movies with the projection of anthology pieces, are part of the credits. A good reputation that has earned it an expansion project: a second theater is underway.

Two rooms for 2 300 armchairs, on five floors, with public programming. The whole is vast (too?), colorful, including the logo, the daisy, redesigned by Christian Lacroix.

Enthusiastic will enjoy theatre sessions in theatre: a style style 50 and a intermission, as once! Information on programming at the Tourism Office.

The Viking is the only room in Haute-Normandie to have preserved the style of the years 1950-1960. The décor has remained unchanged and provides exceptional charm, nostalgia and coziness. This 400-seat room has the retro effect without compromising the quality of the projections (all equipment is modern). The programming is not at rest because the movies go along with the Parisian cinemas.

A small neighborhood cinema, with a big one. 3 D projections, two rooms with seats with screens about meters wide, specific equipment for hearing and impaired, nothing missing. Guaranteed entertainment, made available to everyone. The sessions are regular, and the projected films are not suffering too much from the film news. If you stay in Cabourg, don't need to go far to make a painting a day of rain!

Toile recognize this without ambage: cinemas in small towns often have a charm of no other kind! It is not the Dungeon, the Bricquebétaise hall, that will deny this assertion. It is a little away from the village that this room of about 200 places is located. After a short fall break, due to the setting up of a new association to manage the place, it was early December that the spectators again found the Dungeon path. Other advantages, very low rates, and eclectic and popular programming. 

An art cinema and trial conducted by volunteers. Regularly, snacks are organized around a film, a good way to share impressions and teach children not to absorb anything they see and hear in the movies.

A cinema of seven rooms in the city centre, it becomes rare. We have to take advantage of that, before we open the Multiplexes area in the Docks area, which should surely hurt here. A Art and Trial vocation with more films in VO is on track.

Rich programming every month in Gonfreville, for meetings on Wednesdays. Gonfreville loves cinema, as a festival, from Grain to Démoudre, takes place every year, organized by a handful of enthusiasts aged 10 to 25.
