Two theatres close to the Zazie Hotel offer an original line up. La Fleche is dedicated to young creators of theatre and musical productions, housed in a very charming and typical courtyard of this artistic neighbourhood on Rue de Charonne. The Théâtre de l’Opprimé, located in a former furniture shop, gives precedence to contemporary drama and young and upcoming theatre companies.
The Bastille district offers several art and experimental cinemas including the MK2 Bastille, Majestic Bastille. Just near the Zazie Hotel is the MK2 Nation, not forgetting the Cinémathèque française at Bercy.
