AGDE
How can one capture the passage of time as landscapes shift, the city transforms, and even its inhabitants change?
Following the success of the exhibition “Agde: Photographers of Yesterday, Perspectives of Today”, the Municipal Archives (AMA) is pleased to inform you that it will soon be on display in the heritage mezzanine at the Agde Tourist Office. This extension, taking place in the heart of summer, will allow the public – both Agde residents and tourists alike – to discover the 19 display panels that make up the exhibition. *
“AGDE, PHOTOGRAPHERS OF YESTERDAY, PERSPECTIVES OF TODAY”
How can we capture the passage of time as landscapes evolve, the town transforms and even its inhabitants change?
The Municipal Archives invite you on a journey through time in Agde, bringing photographs from the past back to life and, in 2026, re-photographing the exact viewpoints that photographers had captured at different periods.
This exhibition also provides an opportunity to shine a spotlight on the pioneers of photography – those who, in the 19th century, chose to embrace this new form of artistic expression. Settling here from the 1860s onwards, they helped to preserve the memory of Agde and its inhabitants. Whether photographs of anonymous figures or unchanging landscapes, they tell, in their own way, the story of our beautiful town, its neighbourhoods and its inhabitants.
