Angela, you’re the Lightstalker version of a Swiss Army Knife!

Angela,
thank you for telling me some information about photo festival/activity in France. This information is really useful. Thanks again Angela, I really appreciate this.

There is a photo festival in Lille from May 10th till June 17th.
Transphotographiques, Lille.
It is supposed to be a good festival.
The theme this year is photography and cinema, so I don’t know if you’re interested in that.

I saw there is a new event in Paris:
Le Premier Parcours Parisien de la Photographie.

Then of course there is Arles, but it is in July (not in September!)

Of course most of those websites are in French (sighs), but maybe you can find some info on the web in English.
If you understand French (?) there is a useful website for all photo-related activities in France:
www.photographie.com

I hope this is of some use,

Have fun in France,
Cheers,
