Dragon

Opening around 1965 this art movie theatre had interesting architecture reminiscent of Art Deco/Streamline Moderne styles. Located on a small street of the Saint Germain des Pres district, the theatre had a very long and narrow auditorium with sober lighting and a curtain looking like an old tapestry. It was on the ground floor of a very old building.

300 seats on a slope from the screen to the rear had a good view to the square screen from wall to wall for old movies but not for CinemaScope.

By the 1980’s, the development of new multiplexes killed the Dragon which turned to adult movies and closed in the 1990’s. It was later converted to a supermarket.
