L’Atalante: Bayonne’s Newest Cinematic Marvel
Located in the French city of Bayonne, L’Atalante is an art house cinema that has been a hub of culture since its creation in 1990. It was designed by Farid Azib and built in 2021, and features a cinema, a bar/restaurant, and two apartments.
This modern building is situated on the right bank of the Adour River and is right below the Saint-Esprit bridge, which leads to the city center. It stands out with its prismatic projecting volumes and light prefabricated elements, while the facade is made up of large windows that create an architectural vision based on the expressionist tradition. Inside its walls, visitors can enjoy the breathtaking view of the docks, the bridge, and the historic city while taking part in screenings, debates, and other cultural events.
About L’Atalante
L?Atalante: A Cultural Cinematic Centre in Bayonne
Since its opening in 1990, the Atalante Art House Cinema has been a major cultural centre in the city of Bayonne. Located in front of the Quai Amiral-Antoine-Sala on the right bank of the Adour River, just below the Saint-Esprit bridge, the site was carefully put together by the Cinéma & Cultures association. The city, the CNC (Centre national du cinéma et de l?image animée), and the general and regional councils were all major players in the project. This area around the train station was completely transformed, with a long history dating back to the 12th century.
