The Salle des fêtes in Saint-Germain-lès-Corbeil will host the 11th edition of the Photo Exhibition on October 3rd and 4th, 2026, an event commemorating the 200th anniversary of photography.

Organized by the City in partnership with ADAC, this exhibition invites enthusiasts to discover the work of over 60 photographers. The 2026 edition holds special significance, marking two centuries since Nicéphore Niépce first permanently fixed an image using light, revolutionizing our perception of the world.
Photography, as powerful as ever two centuries later, continues to bear witness, tell stories, and evoke emotions. Over two days, visitors can explore diverse genres such as wildlife photography, architecture, and black and white, and engage with the artists behind these works.
This year, the exhibition is honored to welcome two guests of honor, Florence Perrier and Sylvain Meunier-Colin, renowned for their talent in wildlife photography. Their work offers an immersion into the living world, capturing rare moments where patience, light, and vision converge.
Whether you are a curious amateur, a passionate photographer, or a casual visitor, the Photo Exhibition provides a unique opportunity to wander among the images, meet the artists, and share their vision. The event underscores that sight often precedes words, inviting contemplation and discovery.
