A GREAT 1920'S CINEMA...


WAS ABOUT TO BECOME A WAREHOUSE WHEN THE CITY 
BOUGHT AND RENOVATED IT

Le Grand Rex, across the street from the Barbès métro, now...

Zoom

...and in the 1930's:

The main gay discothèque of the 1980's, 
 abandoned in 1988, 
almost sold to the Tati department store,
restored by the City in 2013
and now a movie theater again.

(In French, but with many pictures)
