Traveler reviews
Lionel Marchand
★★★★★9 months agoKino Camera is Atelier's little brother and it's lovely, run down the right amount to give it this delicate touch of nostalgia. This said, this motion-picture theater is well suited to deliver a good performance in terms of technical infrastructure and most of all, its movie lineup is always mouthwatering.
D. Ritler
★★★★★7 years agoOur place to go for alternative (non Hollywood) movies. They have two sites in the city. The other one is called kult.kino atelier. Both have a nice relaxing atmosphere. The theaters are not too big but have nice sofas including some love sites.
