Hidden in a quiet corner of the 7th arrondissement, La Pagode is one of Paris’s most enchanting landmarks—a Japanese pagoda turned cinema, where East meets West in cinematic elegance.
Built in 1896 as a gift, its red lacquered façade, sweeping rooflines, and dragon-guarded gate are unlike anything else in the city. From the outside, La Pagode feels like a film set—dreamlike, serene, and steeped in artistic mystery.
As you ride past the monument on a Solex, your guide will recount how this architectural wonder became a cult cinema, a gathering place for cinephiles and romantics alike. With LeFrenchWay, uncover the unlikely history of samurai roofs in Paris, and the golden age of independent film screenings. On foot, bike, or Solex, the experience blends cinema, culture, and architectural fantasy.
