As a photographer, I like to visit cities and other towns,
a little bit randomly as I go along,
or my bike or train rides:
In France,
in Germany,
in Switzerland,
in Belgium,
in England,
and elsewhere ...
This is the purpose of this site of "Visites photgraphiques",
to share with the Net surfers my glances,
which are, by essence, only very fragmentary.
Always as a photographer, I like maps and or old engravings and their descriptions,
showing a bit of what our close ancestors lived. Not to say that life was better before, but because every place has a history, good or bad, and this is what makes a landscape or a society as it is nowadays.
These engravings, period texts and maps, accompany my own photographs whenever possible. Others are collected in the section
"Historical iconographic archives and their descriptions".
This site is not really multilingual - only the pages presenting non-French speaking places are translated into their language, so that their inhabitants can more easily appropriate the content. Used machine translation under DEEPL PRO
