‘Agde: photographs from the past, perspectives from the present’

AGDE

Description

How can one capture the passage of time as landscapes shift, the city 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.

*To ensure optimal preservation, the original documents on display for two months in the Salle du Chapitre will be stored in their storage boxes

Monday 31 August at 11.00 am: a guided tour of the exhibition organised by the Agde Archives.
