Discover Romainville through its diverse cultural attractions: an arthouse cinema, performing arts, philosophical activities, historic buildings and places dedicated to artistic work. There is also Parc de Romainville, with facilities for taking a break outdoors. These different themes let you shape your stay around specific interests.
Film, performance and artistic work
Le Trianon combines a cinema program with listed status. This arthouse cinema offers a varied and diverse program. It has been listed as a historic monument since July 25, 1997. This date refers to the cinema’s listing, not its year of construction. If you are planning a visit around a film, check the current program beforehand: screenings are part of the changing schedule.
Le Pavillon offers a different focus. Its multidisciplinary program includes theater, dance, circus, open rehearsals and workshops. As a center for artistic creation and outreach, Le Pavillon also supports emerging talent. Alongside performances, you can find events that offer insights into artistic work and outreach. Dates and events may change; check the current program for specific events.
The Fondation Fiminco in Romainville is open to all audience groups. Komunuma offers an artistic program, opportunities to meet artists in residence and numerous free public events. Each of these offerings has its own focus: Komunuma emphasizes events and encounters, while the Fondation Fiminco is described as being accessible to all audience groups. Program details at Komunuma may also change; check the latest information for a specific date.
Philosophy and historic sites
The Maison de la philo combines reading with philosophical activities. It offers philosophical books for children, teenagers and adults, as well as activities open to everyone. The program is therefore intended for several age groups and complements the performing arts and art themes with books and philosophical exploration.
The Church of Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois offers a specific historical point of reference: it was built in 1787 to plans by the architect Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart and is listed in the register of historic monuments. Le Trianon is also listed, but the year has a different meaning there: July 25, 1997 is the date the cinema was listed. These details help distinguish the building’s history from its listed status.
The Maisons des carriers add a connection to the former working population. They were built around 1870 and housed workers from 1910 onward. These dates refer to two different aspects: the approximate construction period and their later use as workers’ housing. The historic sites therefore include both an 18th-century building and places connected to working-class history.
Take a break at Parc de Romainville
For a change of pace from cultural venues to the outdoors, Parc de Romainville is a destination in its own right. It occupies part of the Corniche des Forts and has benches, picnic tables and a children’s playground. These facilities can be useful for a break or a picnic; if you are relying on a particular facility, check its current status before your visit.
You can organize your stay around your preferred focus: Le Trianon combines film with listed status, while Le Pavillon brings together theater, dance, circus, rehearsals and workshops. For historical topics, you can consider the church’s construction date and the different dates associated with the Maisons des carriers. The park offers a different kind of visit from the cultural venues.
