The passing of Jean-Paul Belmondo has stirred a lot of emotion in the film industry and far beyond. The national tribute in the courtyard of the Invalides, on Thursday, September 9, demonstrates the French people’s affection for the actor who became a true legend.
The Alpes-Maritimes department also wanted to pay tribute to Bébel by naming the oldest cinema in Nice, the Mercury, after Jean-Paul Belmondo.
Opened in 1911, the Mercury is the oldest cinema in Nice. With its eclectic programming, it has become a reference point in the region.
