A sparkling film icon, with a wild beauty and fiercely unconventional spirit, Brigitte Bardot was ahead of her time. Revealed by And God created the woman In Roger Vadim's 1956 film, she revolutionized the conventions of femininity on screen before making a radical decision: to turn her back on cinema at the height of her fame. This winter, Brigitte Bardot passed away. The Espace Lympia is dedicating an exhibition to her alongside those of Mylène Demongeot and Michèle Mercier. More than just actresses, their presence on the big screen and their personalities transformed the vision of women in the 1960s, giving rise to a sensual, audacious, and liberated ideal. Through photographs, film clips, posters, and documents, the exhibition brings these three glamorous figures together.

Until April 12, 2026. Free entry.
