Journées Photographiques du Val d'Ocre

7th Edition — Autumn 2025

For its seventh edition, the Journées Photographiques du Val d'Ocre celebrated the 10th anniversary of the association L'Oiseau à Ressorts with a particularly ambitious program. From September 27 to October 5, 2025, Atelier 19b and its partner venues hosted a rich and varied program.

Exhibitions

Ten exhibitions were presented, including a special “10 Years” exhibition featuring 27 photographers who have participated in the festival since its inception, a living testament to a decade of photographic encounters in Val d'Ocre. The festival also extended off-site, in collaboration with the Sounya Art Gallery during their photography week — two exhibitions outside the main venue.
