Open-air cinema in Paris 2026: Les Vedettes de Paris

An open-air cinema night not to be missed this summer

Paris has a summer ritual of its own: watching films differently. This edition heads to the Port de Suffren, where Vedettes de Paris turn the quayside into an open-air screening room, no walls, no roof, just the Seine and a shimmering Eiffel Tower as backdrop.

Five nights, one quay: dates and location

Screenings run from 26 to 30 August 2026, on the Quai du Port de Suffren, just steps from the Pont de Bir-Hakeim. Five dates only, designed as a summer escape for everyone, families, friends, couples or solo visitors alike. Settle into a deckchair, enjoy a few activities before the film starts, then watch night fall over the Eiffel Tower as the screening begins.
For something to nibble on, the Café des Vedettes serves up sweet and savoury snacks along with cold drinks throughout the evening.

Two ways to enjoy the evening

Choose between two formats:
Cinema ticket only, for those keen to head straight for the deckchairs.
The music cruise and film combo, for a two-act evening: sail off at sunset along the Seine, then return to the quay for the screening — a rather elegant way to see Paris twice over.
Arrive 20 minutes before the screening time. Films are shown in their original language, subtitled in French or English depending on the source, and the programme may change due to technical issues or force majeure.

The line-up: still under wraps

The films haven't been announced yet, and that's rather the point: Vedettes de Paris likes to pair timeless classics with recent favourites, staged against nothing but the Seine and the Eiffel Tower. To help choose the films and be the first to know when tickets go live, the best move is to follow Vedettes de Paris on social media.

An evening at the cinema, a night at Hôtel Fabric

Staying at Hôtel Fabric, in the 11th, makes this open-air screening the perfect way to round off a day exploring the Marais before heading down to the riverbanks. Drop off your bags, unwind with a drink at the hotel bar, then make your way to the quay for the show, Eiffel Tower included.

Book your stay at Hôtel Fabric and secure a spot at one of the most talked-about evenings of the Parisian summer.
