In a nutshell...
Paris can be discovered in many different ways. Sightseers can visit the Eiffel Tower, Sacré Cœur, the Montparnasse Tower and the Arc de Triomphe Cultural visits of Paris include the Louvre, the Pompidou Centre, the Grand Palace and the Orsay Museum. Whichever sights you choose, the capital abounds with visual delights.

Paris is also every man’s town and quarters such as the old Montmartre or unusual Belleville with their bistros and traditional festivals are symbolic of the village spirit that can be found within this metropolis.

European Photo Month in Paris: "European Photography, between tradition and mutation"
Saison culturelle européenne From Monday, October 27 2008 to Sunday, November 30 2008
A mutating tradition.
Photography is mutating.
New technologies are taking over every field of production and broadcasting, changing the very fundamentals of the practise. The question remains how these shifts will influence photography as an art form.
When we see the archives of history, the uncharted waters of social and cultural heritage which are irreplaceable and unique... Where does the photographer fit into the equation?
At this juncture between tradition and mutation, Photography in Europe has reached a crisis point: can it still claim to have an identity or has it crossed over, riding the wave of globalisation towards complacence and conformity?
From the Atlantic to the Ural mountains, from Riga to Istanbul, this army of photographers will be displaying their work and discussing these vital issues.
From Monday 27 October to Sunday 30 November 2008 :
- Everyday, from 10:00 to 18:00
