History of the Grand Rex

In 1930, Jacques Haik, a wealthy producer and distributor in the world of cinema, owned the Olympia. He built an extravagant hall: able to accommodate up to 5,000 spectators, over an area of 2.000 m², with a peak ceiling of 30m, representing a luminous starry vault. The roof tower is 35 meters high. The Grand Rex opened its doors for the first time in 1932, in the presence of cinema pioneer Louis Lumière as well as 3,300 guests: Henri Diamant-Berger's Three Musketeers on the bill. The Grand Rex is one of the largest halls in Paris with the 6,000-seat Gaumont-Palace, built and then destroyed 2 years later.
