In the villages
€4 > €6 (and sometimes offered free by the municipality!)

Open-air cinema on the Aubenas Basin this summer: recent films and popcorn under the stars, in the villages of Aubenas, Vesseaux, Ucel and surrounding areas.

As soon as the weather warms up, the Maison de l'Image hits the road again with its mobile cinema for a tour of over 70 screenings in some fifty villages in southern Ardèche. On the program are the year's standout films, shown on the big screen after nightfall, for families and friends to enjoy in what remains the largest cinema there is: outdoors. The only requirement: remember to bring a sweater, as Ardèche evenings get chilly quickly once the sun sets.
