Gomot, 50 ans de regards à Saint-Paul-de-Vence
This open-air exhibition honours fifty years of photographic attention by Gomot in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Installed through the village streets, the images stay close to the place they remember: stone lanes, façades, doorways and daily passage. The strength of the project lies in its lived view of a famous hilltop village. Instead of reducing Saint-Paul to postcard beauty, it brings forward faces, gestures, village moments and artistic memory. The walk becomes a conversation between photographs and setting, between the people who have watched the village change and the visitors who discover it today. It is discreet, local and finely placed.
Exposition Paul Arène – 130 ans du poète sisteronais
In Sisteron, Paul Arène is not simply a literary name: he belongs to the town’s memory, to its streets, and to the Provençal landscapes that fed his writing. This exhibition at the Musée Terre et Temps marks the 130th anniversary of the Sisteron-born author with a local, intimate reading of his legacy. Visitors will find a portrait of an author rooted in Upper Provence, where language, place and everyday life shaped a regional voice. The value of the exhibition lies in that connection between literature and territory: it helps explain why a writer can become part of a town’s identity, and why Provençal culture is carried as much by words and memory as by monuments.
