Open-air cinema in town: deckchairs, headphones and mulled wine

Open-air cinema comes to town

Imagine yourself curled up in a deckchair, wrapped in a soft blanket, a glass of mulled wine in hand as night falls over the city. Behind you, the city lights twinkle like stars. In front of you, a giant inflatable screen illuminates the space with a cinematic glow. Welcome to urban open-air cinema.

Why Urban Open-Air Cinema is a Hit

A Premium Experience — Say goodbye to beach towels and sand. Here, we’re talking about comfortable deckchairs, individual headphones for perfect sound, and a provider who takes care of everything.

Accessibility — No need to leave the city. A park, a square, a rooftop — and hey presto, the cinema comes to you.

Unique Atmosphere — There’s something magical about watching a film under the open sky, right in the heart of the city.

Social aspect — It’s a neighbourhood event. Neighbours meet up, children discover vintage cinema.

The Secret to a Successful Experience: Headphones

The number one challenge for city-centre cinema? Noise. Car horns, chatter, planes... The solution? Individual wireless headphones.

• Consistent audio quality, without being disturbed by outside noise
• Each viewer controls their own volume
• Option to choose the language or audio description
• Older people or those with hearing impairments can adjust the settings with ease

1. The Inflatable Screen — A 4 to 6-metre model is sufficient for 100 to 200 people.

2. The High-Brightness Projector — Minimum 6,000 lumens to counter light pollution.

3. Headphones — Allow one pair per person.

4. Deckchairs and Blankets — Hire comfortable deckchairs. Blankets are a must in France.
