Pyrénées Nature Photography Festival: Nature sublime in Cauterets

Every end of September, the spa town of Cauterets, at the gates of the National Park of the Pyrenees, hosts the Pyrénées Nature Photography Festival. Since 2015, this festival has become the major event for nature photography and naturalist film in the southwest of France.

A rich and varied program

The festival offers a dense program over three days: photographic exhibitions indoors and outdoors (17 exhibitions during the 11th edition), screenings of naturalist documentaries (14 films), conferences led by nature specialists, guided nature outings in the National Park of the Pyrenees, photo workshops, and creative workshops.

Prestigious partners

The festival is organized by Pyrénées Magazine in partnership with the French Office for Biodiversity and the National Park of the Pyrenees. This partnership guarantees the scientific and artistic quality of the program and anchors the festival in an approach to raising awareness about biodiversity conservation.
