Some places have the ability to reveal the history of a city and its inhabitants.
The Gaîté Palace, a former large neighbourhood cinema, became in 2006 The Generator, a centre of art and creation, is part of this category of places. This building represents an important episode of a local history of Gentilly, that of a very special audience that comes to its walls from generation to generation to entertain, meet, dream.
Once with an intense cinematic activity, now with a program dedicated to the multiple forms of contemporary artistic creation, an exhibition and free visits during these European Heritage Days represent a bridge between what was the Gaîté Palace for more than 50 years and the Generator today.
