Nuit Blanche returns for its new 2023 edition, a unique opportunity for art and culture lovers to discover the treasures of Paris's museums in a whole new light. This annual nocturnal event, which celebrates art in all its forms, transforms the City of Light into an immense art gallery open all night long. This year's Nuit Blanche promises yet another memorable experience, with a host of performances, exhibitions and installations that transcend the traditional boundaries of art.

Among the exceptional places to visit is the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, an iconic institution in the world of photography. Named in honor of the famous French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, known for his humanist approach and the concept of the "decisive moment", this foundation embodies a long tradition of photographic excellence. It is distinguished by its mission to support contemporary creation and its commitment to preserving and sharing Cartier-Bresson's precious legacy.

For Nuit Blanche 2023, this Saturday June 3, the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson is proving to be an unmissable destination. It is hosting the"Mystery Street" exhibition by French photographer Vasantha Yogananthan, the fifth winner of Immersion, a Franco-American photographic commission from the Fondation d'entreprise Hermès. The series, shot in New Orleans, explores the vivid imagination of children in the city's hot, humid, midsummer atmosphere. Somewhere between documentary and fiction, Yogananthan invites us to immerse ourselves in the diversity of possible narratives offered by reality. A visit to the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson during Nuit Blanche 2023 is therefore an exciting journey to the crossroads of contemporary photography and the legacy of one of the greatest masters of the genre.
