The Rue de Flandre was a very animated street with a lot of independent commerce, due to the proximity of Place Sainte Catherine and the March aux Poissons. Once a year there was a fancy fair held in the street.
The Cinema Leterne opened in 1911 and closed in 1914. It was a ‘reverse’ cinema, with the screen being located at the front of the building behind the façade. It reopened in 1922, renamed Cinema Brunet which closed in 1927. In 1928 it was named Cosmos Cinema, a name that expressed the modernity of that period.
It finally became the Tabora Cinema named after the famous battle. “Loving You” with Elvis Presley was shown here in 1958, and it closed one year later. In 1960, it was considered ‘closed for renovating’, but never reopened as a cinema anymore.
By 2010, the building was in use as a bicycle shop and was still in this use in May 2022.
