The Paris of Jean-luc godard
The Latin Quarter is the cinema district par excellence. Known for its arthouse theaters, it naturally attracted young New Wave critics who had become filmmakers. Jean-Luc Godard in particular is linked to this district. From the Luxembourg Gardens and surroundings where he shot one of his very first short films to the quays of the Seine near Saint-Michel where we find the protagonists of À Bout de Souffle, including the cinema from the Panthéon or the Sorbonne, the circuit will allow to approach the origin of its cinema, while being interested in its links with the other scenario writers but also with the youth of the time.
