A Photographic Journey through Brittany

Wander. Experience. Admire. In summer, you can discover Brittany’s trails by bike, on foot… You can also discover it by following the paths of photographers: that’s the idea behind the Traversée Photographique (Photographic Journey). A series of exhibitions throughout the region, it’s a way of discovering Brittany’s towns and cities in a different way, a way of seeing things from a different angle. A captivating experience.
