The Gaumont-Palace was a cinema located on Rue Caulaincourt in the French capital Paris.

Originally constructed between 1898 and 1900 as the Hippodrome de Montmartre, it staged equestrian shows during its early years.

With a capacity of 6,000, it commonly attracted between fifty and sixty thousand spectators a week in the early 1930s.

Increasingly, its large size was considered a disadvantage, due to poor audio quality.

The money the company received from its sale allowed it to renovate other parts of its cinema chain, including in Lille, Lyon, Marseilles, Bordeaux, Reims, Nice and Toulouse.
