Le Grand Action is in the heart of the Paris city centre, and has shown the best in Parisian cinema for more than 50 years. Before that, the historic building was a ballroom assembly hall and even a small, single-room cinema in the early days of film during the early 20th century.

It changed over to a modern cinema in 1970 before its purchase by the Action Group in 1980, when it took on its current form as a 2-screen multiplex. Today it shows the best in local French and world film as well as the biggest American Hollywood blockbusters.
