Discover the work of Robert Doisneau at the Maillol Museum

This grand retrospective showcases the genius of this artist who captures the essence of humanity like no one else. From room to room, over 400 photographs (chosen from more than 450,000 by the artist) flow by like stolen moments, priceless testimonies of the poetry found in the present moment.

We sneak beneath the streets of Paris at the Sewers Museum

This year, the Paris Sewers Museum is celebrating its 50th anniversary. It’s the perfect opportunity to rediscover this institution with a special program in the city’s underground: exhibitions, theatrical performances, treasure hunts, captivating storytelling tours for families… Everything needed to uncover the well-kept secrets hiding beneath our feet. And to start the new school year with style, what could be better than to dive into the wardrobe of those who have worked for the Paris sewer system, with the exhibition Habits d’égoût?Photographers. An exhibition that takes you back in time through a selection of photographs and objects, telling the story of how the profession has evolved.
