Odéon Cinema in Morges: a family film outing in the heart of town
Looking for an easy cinema outing, right in the town centre and a stone’s throw from the station? The Cinéma Odéon has been part of the Morges landscape since 1940.

A cinema institution in the heart of Morges
A stone’s throw from the lake and the station, the Cinéma Odéon has been part of the Morges landscape since 1940. Set on Place Charles-Dufour, right in the town centre, it is an independent cinema that has weathered the eras. Fully renovated in 2010, it swapped 35 mm for digital and 3D while keeping its charm: its seats even bear the names of great actors and directors. With its two screens, it offers both the big hits of the moment and a more varied selection. A safe bet for a family cinema outing, easy to reach and perfect in any weather.
What your children will discover
The Odéon regularly programmes the big animated features and family hits of the moment, in French. The main auditorium, with its 172 seats and generous screen, offers a real cinema experience, while the second, more intimate screen (90 seats) hosts a more eclectic programme. For children, it is the chance to discover an eagerly awaited film in good conditions, with sound and image at their best.
What you do there and the atmosphere on site
You enjoy a town-centre cinema just the way you like it: you arrive on foot from the station or the lakeside, buy your ticket, and settle into a comfortable auditorium. The Odéon is an independent cinema that takes care over its welcome and the quality of projection. In summer, the team extends the fun outdoors with the Morges Open Air, held at the Château de Morges since 2016: a way to vary your outings through the seasons.
