Today I visited the exhibition Cinema Paradiso at the Grand Palais and took these shots to give you an idea of what’s going on there.
There is, for example, a working drive-in, complete with cars.
The Drive-in
There is a roller rink (roller blades and pads provided at no extra cost)
The Roller Rink
There is an imitation diner with nachos and cheeseburgers (and champagne!?). Plus lots of Coke and even more Coke signage. (Count 10€ for a cheeseburger and 20€ for a decent meal–I didn’t price the champagne.)
The Diner
There is also a selection of American junk food in an impromptu convenience store.
Junk Food Convenience Shopping
There is an interactive History of the Video Game tour, and no charge for the games.

The Games I Grew Up With
As well as the more traditional games, also free.
A Pinball Wizard Top Model
And this… You wouldn’t want to forget this…
