Located on Esplanade Charles-de-Gaulle, near Place de la Comédie and not far from the Fabre Museum, the Pavillon Populaire is a beautiful 19th century building that has been dedicated to photography since 1990. The institution, which does not charge an entrance fee, is astonishing in the quality and depth of its programming, with three thematic exhibitions a year presenting the works of leading French and international artists. Escape to the open American road with Ralph Gibson and William Gedney, or discover the work of Hélène Hoppenot, Elina Brotherus and Louise Dahl-Wolfe in a series dedicated to female photographers.
