How much does it cost to see a movie at the theatre in Paris? Of course it has to be in English, which is no problem. Several theatres feature first run movies in English, but only at specific times and on specific days, so checking the listing is essential.
I wanted to see Ironman 3, which had just come out. There was a showing on Saturday that fit our schedule so off we went to Paris. Ninety nine euros for first class train tickets. One hundred seventy seven euros for one night at a small hotel. The movie tickets were thirteen euros each (13.20 actually) and there was a one euro charge for each of the 3D glasses (I hate 3D movies, but they were the only ones that fit our schedule) so that added up to €28.40 for two people to go to the movie, not counting the 3 euros for a bottled drink (no fountain drinks available). No wonder the movie theatre was not crowded!
Needless to say, going to the movies in Paris is only a good idea if you plan to spend the entire weekend there anyway. We did and we had a wonderful time. The weather was perfect, the food was great, (even though my favorite restaurant was closed on Sunday) and it's always fun to be in Paris.
Oh, and Alice even enjoyed the movie. It was the first action movie I've ever been able to get her to watch with me. She's more of a comedy/romance kind of fan. But she enjoyed Ironman, high praise from a girl that thinks "It's a Wonderful Life" is too violent in places.
