From 1997 to 2000 La Pagode was closed so that some renovations could be made. At some point the management of the cinema changed from Gaumont Cinémas to Ètoile Cinémas, a company operating several other successful cinemas in the city. Some renovations were made again, but it was clear that a major overhaul was going to be necessary. The elaborate ceiling had to be removed for fear of ceiling collapse and the walls needed scaffolding to keep them up.

Koyasan, an ancient holy temple complex, is one of the most important religious sites in all of Japan. The religion’s founder, Kobo Daishi, taught his disciples right here in Koyasan’s Danjo Garan temple complex, the birthplace of Shingon Buddhism.

Poor Monsieur Morin. He not only loses his beloved Amandine to a much younger man but he happens to be the son of his co-director at Le Bon Marché, Jules Plassard. Quelle humiliation! For those traveling for business and tourism, Charles de Gaulle Airport (Roissy Airport) is the preferred choice when visiting Paris. It's easy to reach Paris. The city can be reached by plane, train, and car. Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in. It’s located in one of the two remaining buildings from the Exposition Coloniale de 1931, designed by the architect Louis-Hippolyte Boileau as the Pavilion de Cameroun. The original Pavilion de Togo at the 1931 Exposition.

It was converted into the Pagode, a 400-seat cinema opening on 31st March 1931 with Jose Crespo in “En cada puerto un amor” (One Mad Kiss) presented in its Spanish version. A projection booth was built at the rear side of the building and beautiful glass windows on the side-walls were darkened by simple wood panels. An additional building constructed on a part of the garden was used as the lobby.

The Bois de Vincennes – a ‘green lung’ in the eastern section of Paris– is a great place for a leisurely cycle ride. Starting from the Porte Dorée (metro line 8, tram 3a), one of the 17 gateways built into the 19th-century Thiers wall, you will come to a 995-hectare expanse of woodland. The Bois was a royal hunting ground until the Revolution and subsequently used for other purposes, such as an artillery academy, before being developed, in the late 19th century, into the largest public park in Paris. With a clever first run art movie programming and a brilliant restoration of the main auditorium, which now seats 212, the result was a huge success. The year is 1896 – the height of the flamboyant Belle Epoque era – and François Emil Morin, a director of the grand department store Le Bon Marché, is trying to think of a unique birthday present to give his wife, Suzanne Kelson – a woman with an impulsive personality. She is known as “Amandine,” meaning “much loved,” and Monsieur Morin is wholly infatuated with her. He is so eager to please her that every evening he brings a little gift from the store to coax squeals of pleasure from her. This birthday present should be something that really takes her breath away; something that would be the envy of tout Paris.

Couvrant environ 110,000 mètres carrés, la fontaine musicale située au nord de la place de la grande pagode des Oies Sauvages est la plus grande d’Asie.With its red-painted façade and sloping roof, jade tiles and other Chinese architectural features, it’s such an anomaly, in dramatic contrast to the typical fine Haussmann buildings of the 8 th arr. After numerous earlier alterations, it was restored in 1977 and transformed into a 28 metre high pagoda as a place of worship, especially for those who had fled war and oppression, such as the Vietnamese and Khmer communities. The second remaining building, the former Pavilion de Togo, is programmed for restoration by the City of Paris, and destined to become a library for Buddhist texts.

La fontaine contient, dans sa totalité, 1360 ensembles de pompes, 1124 ensembles de transducteurs, 3300 séries de lanternes chinoises et plus de 2000 jeux d’embouts.From then on Amandine plunges into organizing lavish banquets, balls, thematic evenings, concerts, and plays. One after the other. La Pagode becomes the focal point of Paris’ upper class, crazy social life and Amandine reigns over these extravaganzas dressed in elaborate Japanese costume as Empress of the Rising Sun.
