La Grande pagode

Product Information

In the 1990’s the difficulty to run two screens was a major problem. Gaumont, who had operated the Pagode since 1979 decided to quit, and a new owner of the building intended to open a restaurant, but the Ministry of Culture decided to upgrade the Landmark status of the building together with its garden, with the obligation for it to remain a cinema.

La Pagode closed. Then, in 1931, its doors reopened and voila! La Pagode had reincarnated into a cinema! The only cinema ever in the distinguished 7th arrondissement. The program catered to serious cinéphiles showing quality avant-garde films. There are 2283 hotels in Paris on Trip.com, including luxury, boutique, and budget hotels. As a popular tourist city, Paris has many renowned chain hotels. Ramada is the most popular brand among tourists. Those who favor Ramada can choose a hotel under its name. Ibis Paris Tour Eiffel is one of the most popular hotels in Paris. Many tourists also stay at Ibis Paris CDG Airport. At the beginning of the 1970’s, it was turned to an art movie theatre but this lovely design inside and outside is very old fashioned with a dusty smell. It is clear now why Madame Dauchy chose to turn over La Pagode to Monsieur Cohen. She notes that he is a passionate cinéphile, loves French wine, loves French cinema, has the means and the will.

A Tibetan Buddhist temple named Kagyu-Dzong was built in the 1980s in front of the Pagode which offers many activities with a variety of French and Asian teachers. Thus, people can learn the basics of Buddhism and meditation, participate in a yoga session or take a Japanese calligraphy class, or perhaps a Tibetan language lesson.

Un livre disparaît de la circulation. Un ministre est victime de chantage. Et un homme est retrouvé mort sur une plage de Sintra… The conquest of Saigon in 1859 by Admiral Rigault de Genouilly and the ensuing spread of French influence through Indochina and Cambodia was the first colonial success of the Second Empire. To commemorate the achievement the admiral, having become minister of the Navy, presented Empress Eugénie in 1867 with this luxuriously bound album of photographs entitled "Cochinchine et Cambodge." Comprising twenty-six images of Indochina and twenty-one of Cambodia, the album includes fifteen views of the ruins of Angkor. The photographs were made by M. Gsell, a Frenchman stationed in Saigon, of whom nothing more is yet known except that in June 1866 he accompanied the naval captain Doudart de Lagrée on a scientific mission along the Mekong River. The mission began with a photographic survey of Angkor.

It was originally a h ôtel particulier, constructed in 1880 in the Louis Philippe style of classic 19 th century Haussmann buildings. But by the 20 th century, things were changing. In 1903 a wealthy art dealer named Ching Tsai Loo moved to Paris. He had galleries in New York and Paris supplying American museums with Chinese artefacts—these activities earned him widespread criticism for removing culturally valuable artworks from China and selling them to the West. Known as La Grande Pagode, or the Pagode du Vincennes, the third Paris pagoda is a hidden gem on the edge of lac Daumesnil in the heart of the Bois de Vincennes. The original Pavilion de Cameroun at the 1931 Exposition.This building actually evoking a pagoda was built in 1896, designed by architect Alexandre Marcel, on behalf of the leader of Bon Marché.

The Paris zoo is open daily from 9.30am to 8.30pm from 1 May to 31 August, with late openings (from 9pm to 1am) every Thursday from June to mid-August. Used as a royal residence in medieval times, the 14th-century Château de Vincennes (also called the Fortress of Vincennes) was built on a limestone plateau, not on top of a hill like most other fortified castles. It is best known for its keep (the highest in Europe), used for many years as a state prison. Voltaire, Fouquet, the Marquis of Sade, Diderot and Mirabeau were imprisoned here. It was the birthplace of Louis XIV, who however preferred to live in Versailles. The castle was gradually abandoned, and later variously used as a porcelain factory, an arsenal and a bakery. It is one of the largest and best-preserved vestiges of the Middle Ages in Europe. The Grande Pagode de Vincennes is the headquarters of the International Buddhist Institute. Located in the wooden structures built for the 1931 Colonial Exhibition’s Togo and Cameroon pavilions, it has a 9-metre-high Buddha (the highest of its kind in Europe), some historical relics and many books on Buddhism. It is open to the public during the Buddhist festival in May and the Tibet festival in September. The Bois de Vincennes – a ‘green lung’ in the eastern section of Paris– is a great place for a leisurely cycle ride. Starting from the Porte Dorée (metro line 8, tram 3a), one of the 17 gateways built into the 19th-century Thiers wall, you will come to a 995-hectare expanse of woodland. The Bois was a royal hunting ground until the Revolution and subsequently used for other purposes, such as an artillery academy, before being developed, in the late 19th century, into the largest public park in Paris.The Paris Zoo is known for its landmark, the Grand Rocher (an artificial mountain). The zoo re-opened a few years ago after being entirely renovated to create the best possible habitat for its 2,000 animal specimens (180 different species). They are now grouped into five biozones (Patagonia, Savannah/Sahel, Europe, Guyana and Madagascar) recreating five different ecosystems. Founded in 1860, the zoo was initially part of the Menagerie at the Jardin des Plantes and devoted to the scientific study of animal behaviour. After the 1931 Colonial Exhibition, it opened as a place where the general public could come to admire the collection of ‘exotic animals’. Today, the zoo with its semi-cylindrical greenhouse and 4,000 m² of waterfalls is a popular attraction. Par ailleurs, elle est équipée d’un système d'éclairage de haute technologie et d’un système audio très professionnel. Le plus étonnant: le son, la lumière, l’eau et les couleurs de la fontaine se combinent harmonieusement.

Poor Monsieur Morin. He not only loses his beloved Amandine to a much younger man but he happens to be the son of his co-director at Le Bon Marché, Jules Plassard. Quelle humiliation! The walls of the old town of Chang'an went to 3 km south of the pagoda, giving an idea of the extent of the capital at the time of its glory.The pagoda is only open to the public from April to October for special teachings and for Buddhist holidays such as the Fête du Buddhisme in May. The most popular event is the Himalayan and Tibetan Festival, also called the festival of the Tibetan Cultures, in September. Interior of the Kagyu-Dzong Buddhist Temple. Sheep, cows, rabbits, goats, poultry, a kitchen garden, an orchard – the Ferme de Paris is a proper working farm, all-organic to boot. Conceived as a vast experiment in urban farming, it uses methods such as permaculture and sustainable grazing. It teaches visitors of all ages about everyday life on a farm. Everything was going smoothly until the diplomats decided to have a closer inspection of the building. They didn’t like what they saw and promptly terminated the lease. His defenders point to his generosity, recalling that he would often lend pieces to museums at his own expense, also reminding critics that he saved many Chinese antiquities from certain destruction during the frenzied vandalism of temples brought on by Mao’s Cultural Revolution.
