Lyon's Hangar du Premier-Film is a must-see for film buffs. Located within the Institut Lumière, it offers visitors the chance to (re)discover films from all eras and geographical origins. Indeed, this historic location is the site of the first Lumière film, shot in 1895. The hangar, once a photographic plate factory, was saved from destruction by film enthusiasts. Today, it houses a 269-seat cinema where films are shown. Visitors can also enjoy the library, bookshop, café and galleries on site. A must-see for all cinephiles!

Le Hangar du Premier Film est le lieu ayant servi de décor au premier film des frères Lumières. Les vestiges de l'ancienne usine Lumière, qui produisait des plaques photographiques instantanées entre les années 1890 et 1950, sont protégés par de grandes baies vitrées. Le hangar abrite une salle de cinéma qui propose régulièrement la projection de vieux films. De plus, ce lieu est un des lieux phares du Festival Lumière.
