Ciné Bistrot Claude Lelouch
Since it first opened, the Ciné-Bistrot in Trouville has established itself as a unique venue combining cinema and a friendly atmosphere.
From 29 May until the end of November, the Ciné-Bistrot will temporarily close its doors to support the preparation and filming of Claude Lelouch’s 52nd film, currently titled *Un temps pour tout*, which will be shot mainly in Normandy.
The Ciné-Bistrot will resume normal operations once filming has finished. This phase helps to reinforce the venue’s unique identity and the experience it offers its audience.
The teams at Films 13 and the Ciné-Bistrot would like to extend their warmest thanks to visitors, regulars and partners for their loyalty and look forward to welcoming them back in the autumn.
► Cinema, cuisine and the seaside in Trouville-sur-Mer
Just a few metres from the sea wall, immortalised in the 1966 film *Un homme & une femme*, the Ciné-Bistrot is housed in an iconic building in the harbour. This acquisition restores the venue’s architectural charm, celebrates the town of Trouville-sur-Mer and highlights the magic of cinema.
► An exceptional venue
Having always had a deep connection to Normandy, Claude Lelouch fell in love with Deauville and Trouville whilst filming his cult classic.
With the Ciné Bistrot, he is realising a dream: to offer visitors and locals a space where cinema can be experienced in a different way, in an atmosphere of intimacy, warmth and discovery.
► An encounter and a shared passion
The Ciné Bistrot was born out of an encounter and a shared passion: a love of cinema and of sharing.
Alongside Claude Lelouch, Alexis Chermant, a food enthusiast, has created a welcoming and gourmet venue where art, pleasure and authenticity come together.
Together, they set out to create a place where people come as much to enjoy a good film as to share a meal, a snack or a drink in an intimate and warm atmosphere, overlooking the sea.
► A unique concept: cinema, cuisine and the seaside
The Ciné Bistrot brings together two universal pleasures: cinema and fine dining.
It is neither a traditional cinema nor a simple restaurant: it is a hybrid venue, at the crossroads of film screenings and fine dining.
Here, the light from the projectors echoes that of the sea.
Before the screening, you can enjoy lunch or an evening buffet, discover simple, hearty cuisine, then settle in comfortably to (re)discover a classic film or a cinematic gem.
► A unique and immersive experience
The Ciné Bistrot has been designed as a cosy, intimate lounge.
The plush velvet armchairs, the subdued lighting and the carefully crafted acoustics immerse the audience in an intimate and immersive experience.
Here, cinema returns to its original essence: that of a shared and sensory pleasure.
► An invitation to share
More than just a cinema, the Ciné Bistrot Claude Lelouch is a living space.
A place for shared emotions, encounters and moments suspended in time, where time seems to slow down.
It is an invitation to experience cinema in a different way, to take the time to savour, to share and to dream.
