Nouvel Odéon

Nouvel Odéon (formerly Le Racine Odéon) is a cinema located at 6 rue de l'École-de-Médecine in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, France. It is managed by the French film distribution company Haut et Court and is classified as an Art et Essai (art-house) cinema. The venue has a long history: before becoming a cinema, the building was a 17th-century hôtel particulier and later a surgical instrument shop, owing to its location opposite the former Royal Academy of Surgery. In the third quarter of 2010, major renovation work modernized the entire auditorium, reducing capacity from 175 to 120 seats. The cinema reopened under its new name, Nouvel Odéon, on 17 November 2010. The interior design was entrusted to Matali Crasset. Today the cinema presents a curated program of films, events, and a newsletter for its audience, as indicated on its official website.

The building at 6 rue de l'École-de-Médecine in Paris's 6th arrondissement has a history dating back to the 17th century, when it served as an hôtel particulier. Later, because of its location directly opposite the former Académie royale de chirurgie (Royal Academy of Surgery), it became a shop selling surgical instruments. In the modern era it was converted into a cinema known as Le Racine Odéon. In the third quarter of 2010, significant renovation work was undertaken to modernize the entire auditorium, reducing its capacity from 175 to 120 seats. The cinema was renamed Nouvel Odéon and reopened on 17 November 2010. The interior design of the renovated space was entrusted to designer Matali Crasset. The cinema is managed by the French film distribution company Haut et Court and holds the Art et Essai classification. It continues to operate as an art-house cinema in the Latin Quarter of Paris.
