Free Outdoor Cinema Festivals Launch Across French Cities This Summer

Paris' iconic Moulin Rouge rooftop will host the free "Cinéma sur le Toit" festival at the Bar à Bulles from 15 July to 2 September 2026. The eight‑film programme, themed "Trajectoires," includes works such as Agnès Varda’s *Cléo de 5 à 7* and Steven Spielberg’s *E.T.*, with reservations required due to limited seating.

In Nice, the city’s open‑air cinema season runs from 19 June to 26 August 2026, offering 20 free screenings in various neighbourhoods and four special evenings at the Port de Nice. The line‑up features titles like *Wonkade*, *Spirited Away*, *Shrek 4*, and tributes to classic stars, with all shows open to the public on a first‑come, first‑served basis.
