Overview

This Wednesday, September 23, Yann Vaternelle invites you to the Hôtel Mercure Paris Centre Gare Montparnasse for the opening of his project focusing on this mythical district of the capital.

After more than 25 years in visual production, Yann Vaternelle decided to swap his manager's hat to fully immerse himself in the creative process. Since then, his Leica camera has not left his side, and he began to immortalise every corner of Paris, from its monuments to its little secrets, including the life of its bistros and neighbourhood markets. In collaboration with the Hôtel Mercure Paris Centre Gare Montparnasse, he presents an exhibition that is both documentary and intimate, like an invitation to rediscover one of the liveliest corners of the Left Bank with a new eye.
