L'Alhambra


Isn't the above photo fantastic? It's one of the pictures shown at the current 'cinema in Versailles' photo exhibition on the outside walls of the king's veg garden. Now of course it is also very interesting to see that the 'Alhambra' was Versailles' first cinema, opened a century ago! It has since disappeared... Below, a nice collection of Versailles set film reviews!

Il manque le quatrième larron sur la photo principale ! C'est l'une des photos de l'expo du moment sur les murs du potager du roi. L'Alhambra, le premier cinéma versaillais, ouvrait ses portes avenue de Sceaux il y a un chouïa plus qu'un siècle. Il a malheureusement disparu. Dessous, quelques critiques de films tournés à Versailles !

    The three musketeers? Fantastic. What a super exhibition. I wonder how many movies have incorporated Versailles?

    Re your comment on Cedar Key: There's really no surf in Cedar Key...it's on the Gulf of Mexico and is sort of protected. Unless there's a hurricane, of course, then there's a very big surf! But you wouldn't want to try surfing on a surfboard!

    What a coincidence, there used to be a movie theatre here called Alhambra. It has since closed down too.

    Fabulous first shot Ciel, such a shame the Alhambra closed down, beyond restoration I guess?
