Victor-Hugo Pathe

Located in the west of the city. In June 1933, Pathe built a very nice Art Deco building in order to give a home to foreign stars staying in Paris; the apartments are like ateliers on two levels. In the space of the ground floor and underground they created a very modern 500-seat movie theatre with a very clever way to use the piece of land which is at a corner of two streets. It was considered at that time an example of modernity by architecture reviews. There was a bar and a balcony and the patrons were people from the 16th district of Paris. It was designed by architects Jean Charavel & Marcel Melendes.

In the 1970’s, a renovation converted the space of the balcony into a bank for more rentability. A narrow lobby led to a 1970’s style 330-seat auditorium designed by architects V. Scob & J. Touraines.

In 1986 like the others single screens of the district(Mayfair, Passy, Broadway) the Victor-Hugo Pathe was closed indefinitively.

The beautiful Art Deco style building remains with a bank using the ground floor former balcony of the former cinema space and a Picard health store using the basement orchestra area.
