It's back: head for the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district in Paris to enjoy the PhotoSaintGermain festival, a free artistic event not to be missed in Paris, from November 6 to 30, 2025.
Amateur or professional photographers, art lovers, bargain hunters: this event is for you! The PhotoSaintGermain festival is back for its 14th edition, from November 6 to 30, 2025. As in previous years, art galleries, bookstores, cultural centers, museums, art schools and other participants will transform the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district into an immense art trail.
As its name suggests, this free event on the Left Bank puts photography in the spotlight. It features exhibitions, meetings, screenings, signings and studio visits. For almost a month, this great photographic journey brings together amateurs, artists, collectors and professionals from the field, around the eighth art.
For this 14th edition, more than thirty venues are waiting to introduce you to French and international artists, past and present. This year, children and teenagers also benefit from their own program: special tours and workshops introduce them to the history and practices of photography.
