March has always been a busy month for cinema. The César Awards, the Oscars, (sometimes) unpredictable weather, and a series of eagerly awaited film releases: cinema attendance is always high at the end of winter. Not to mention Printemps du Cinéma, which also adds to the excitement with an invitation to head to the cinema to celebrate the arrival of spring. What more could you ask for?
Printemps du Cinéma: the big screen for only €5
What could be better than sharing a good movie and then grabbing a tasty burger to discuss it? What’s more, 2026 looks set to be a great year for cinema. With so many films on show, it’s hard to choose. So why not skip the choosing and see them all! That’s what Printemps du Cinéma is all about: offering movie tickets at half price or even a third of the usual price. It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy a series of five-star films over the three days of the event. The icing on the cake is that these three days of culture at bargain prices will apply to all films showing during this period. From small independent films to American blockbusters, all the latest releases will be available at the best prices.
More than 180 million pairs of eyes in movie theaters in 2025
In Lyon, we have been celebrating cinema in style for 130 years and are home to one of the most prestigious museums on the subject in the city center . It goes without saying that the history that links our city to the 7th art is unique. But it is France as a whole that has declared its love for cinema. Last year, nearly 182 million admissions were recorded, with a resurgence in French productions. Enough to make us want to go to the movies again!
