MK2 Bibliothèque

The MK2 chain's flagship offers an all-in-one night out: 14 screens, three restaurants, a bar open until 5am at weekends and two-person 'love seats'. A paragon of imaginative programming, MK2 is growing all the time; it has added ten more venues in town, including two situated along the Bassin de la Villette with decent waterside cafés attached.

For €19.80 a month, the UGC/MK2 Illimité card offers film buffs unlimited screenings at any UGC or MK2 venue, as well as some independents. Also now available, at €35 a month, is the Illimité 2 card, which is valid for two people.
