Advantages: Good atmosphere, la Grande Salle, Disadvantages: Expensive, small screens
Going to the cinema during your visit to Paris might not top of your list of things to do, but LeGrand Rex is certainly not your everyday cinema.
Histoire
LeGrand Rex was opened in 1932 and is the oldest cinema in Paris. It has a long and interesting history, from its opening night on the 8th of December 1932, attended by a ritzy, glitzy list of 3,300 VIPs, to its occupation by the German soliders, who used it as a place to watch propaganda films.
The building is decorated in a typical art deco style, whilst the inside, particularly the 'Grande Salle' - the biggest room, which also boasts the biggest screen in Europe - is a mixture of art deco and baroque style.
LeGrand Rex is also home to a night club - Rex Club - which is attached to the building and is right next door. However, in the many times I've visited, this has ...

Advantages: Unusual and brilliant spectacle Disadvantages: Its all in French!
stamina. I believe the park sells two day tickets as well if you want to take it more slowly. There is a hotel on site.

There were toilets throughout the park but I was informed by my son that some of the urinals were pretty much on public display so you have been warned!

Advantages: Waterproof, Disadvantages: Doesn't curl very well, expensive, clogs
for a day at work without any mechanical assistance and for a day with the aid of an eyelash curler. I found that the curl given by the mascara on it’s own was minimal and that no one noticed the difference. I also found that if I applied more than one coat, then the mascara tended to leave lumps on the end of my eyelashes. The second day’s effort was more successful although that was probably due to the effectiveness of the eyelash curler. People certainly noticed the difference and I had gorgeous wispy, fluttery eyes
My conclusion is that the LeGrand Curl Waterproof is a slight improvement on the original only because it is waterproof. It still does not curl as well as one would expect and it is very pricey compared to normal mascaras. Unfortunately, if you want luscious curly lashes, you will have to invest in a pair of eyelash ...
