Yvelines Ciné

Yvelines Ciné: Cinema Under the Stars Throughout the Department

Since 2012, the Departmental Council of Yvelines has organized Yvelines Ciné, an open-air cinema festival that travels throughout the region at the end of each summer. From mid-August to mid-September, a traveling giant screen is set up each evening in a different town for a free screening under the stars. In fourteen editions, Yvelines Ciné has become an unmissable summer event for thousands of families in Yvelines.

78 Screenings in 78 Towns

Each edition programs as many screenings as the department's number: 78 screenings in 78 towns, a symbolic nod that illustrates the event's exceptional territorial coverage. From towns like Versailles, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, or Rambouillet to small rural communes in the Mantois or the Chevreuse Valley, Yvelines Ciné reaches all territories without exception.

A Program for All Audiences

The film selection is designed to appeal to the widest audience: recent French comedies, animated films for younger viewers, adventure and science fiction blockbusters, and cinema classics. Each screening is a moment of family and intergenerational sharing, in a relaxed and festive atmosphere. Public welcome generally begins at 7 p.m., with a screening at dusk.

Highlighting Local Heritage

Yvelines Ciné is set up in locations chosen for their heritage or landscape value: castle courtyards, historic squares, parks and gardens, and the banks of the Seine. Each screening is an opportunity to discover or rediscover a remarkable site in the department, combining cinematic pleasure with the promotion of the territory.
