The Yann Arthus-Bertrand Studio in Bordeaux
As part of his major project "What does it mean to be French today?", Yann Arthus-Bertrand will be setting up in Bordeaux from May 10th to 12th, 2024. The most famous French photographer, known for his heavenly landscapes and wildlife, will be based at the Hotel de Ragueneau, very close to Rue Sainte-Catherine.
With his traveling photo studio, he will meet with the people of Bordeaux to photograph them, no fuss, with simplicity. Whether you are anonymous or famous, with family, as a couple or alone, you are all welcome to participate in this societal project that is likely to make history! Oh, and yes, you are even invited to come accompanied by your pet or with an everyday object that characterizes you! At the end, thousands of photographs will be collected, showcasing the diversity and richness of French society.
Over the years, they have built a real base of archives and allow to show the social portrait of France today.
