There are only a few days left to admire the images of Raymon Depardon taken in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1980, and hanging at the RX gallery in le Marais in Paris, until Sunday January 16.
In 1980, the French photographer carried out a commission for the Sunday Times on the Scottish capital. The report will never be published and the images will remain in the boxes until an exhibition dedicated to Depardon at the Grand Palais in 2013.

The public marvels: Depardon captures the end of a working world, idle, under a rainy sky, in front of coal-colored building facades. It's a large-format portrait of the little Scottish people, with beautiful losers and broken faces whose children seem to have only two hobbies: playing ball and blowing bubble gum bubbles. Adults heal from adversity with a swig of alcohol.

The large format prints, published in 3 copies, on silver paper (120 x 160 cm) are worth €18.000. The small ones (46 x 63 cm), published in 5 copies, cost €6.000.

Heritage Days 2024: the secrets of the Marais
Le Marais, an architectural showcase of historic Paris, is preparing to reveal its hidden treasures during the 2024 Heritage Days. This district, once a marshland that became a stronghold of the nobility in the XNUMXth century, is home to an exceptional density of private mansions and historic buildings, silent witnesses to the splendor of yesteryear.
Private cruise on the Seine: a perfect moment
Like the Olympic athletes at the opening ceremony, Le Marais Mood embarked on a cruise on the Seine. But for a private cruise, in a small group (six passengers), with champagne on tap. This is what Green River Cruises offers for 450 euros for a one and a half hour cruise.
