As we were adventuring in wolves’ territory in the Parc National du Mercantour, the weather suddenly changed. That’s pretty common in the mountains. The blazing sun left the place for a thick fog. Soon enough, the tree-covered hills were drowned in the mists. I’ve always wanted to shoot these landscapes of grey trees and mist. However, these are hard to come by in Montréal. So I couldn’t let this opportunity slip away and just fired at will. This is one of many other misty pics. Hope you’ll enjoy them.

I took this picture in Marseille, south of France, during a corporate shooting session for a friend of mine which was starting his new activity. We wanted to have pctures that shows nature, health, good vibes and quiet… One of our spot was this beach, with white sand and this unreal color of sea. I saw those little stones on the sand and I suddenly imagined that tom thumb went there ! ;o) I simply pushed the button and here is the fresh result. Hope you enjoy.

In late May 2018, I was lucky enough to go to Nice, France for 5 days, and to rediscover this city. It’s a place that is dear to my heart because I used to go there each year from the time I was 3 weeks old until I was 18. Last time I’d gone was in August 2009, almost a decade ago. The series of photos I took in Nice was a way for me to put in picture the fading memories I had from a place that is synonymous to childhood innocence, it’s a bubble out of time and space. If the architecture evokes Italy, it also reminds me at times of Florida or California, and it has some Wes Andersonian vibe.
One of the wolves living in the Parc National du Mercantour, in the French Alps. They returned to France in 1992, the same Winter I was born. Coincidence?

On the frontier of the National Park of Mercantour, next to a wolves preservation center, there’s this small cabin. As we were getting drenched, the view reminded me of Cabin Porn (one of my favorite books) and I couldn’t help but get into the rain and snap a picture inspired by the great photographers who contributed to CP. This picture is also like a mirage of a promised land, far from civilization and noise, in harmony with nature.

I was at the top of Notre Dame de Paris while taking this photo in the morning. There were a lot of places I didn’t visit when I was living and working in there. So I’ve decided to go back and rediscover the city with a new eye, the visitor’s eye. And the new view I’ve got was so beautiful, and then I understood why people still love coming to Paris no matter how impatient the people living here are. And oddly enough, what makes me feel home the most, is that attitude. Paris.

While on vacation in Troyes, we went to enjoy the nature around that city. While walking at the lake, we saw a bunch of trees growing in the middle of the lake. It was a beautiful sight, seeing this small island in the middle of the lake where some of the trees managed to grow. This island was submerged in water in the spring, and the only thing you see from above is a bunch of trees in the middle of water. Flying with a drone, you see a surreal picture from above.

The Panthéon in Paris has always seemed like the city’s most understated destination. This monument to church and state has the most incredible decorative ceiling, and has never seemed to attract anywhere as many tourists as Paris’s other attractions. Beneath this stunning ceiling, deep in the catacombs, lie the tombs of the philosopher Voltaire, the writer Victor Hugo, the scientist Marie Curie, and even the leader of the French Resistance Jean Moulin among many others.
Le Fort Harbour. Ce fort a été construit au cours des xviie et xviiie siècles à l'initiative des ingénieurs militaires Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban et Siméon Garangeau. Il protège deux des passes d'accès de Saint-Malo et participe du système de défense du port de Saint-Malo qui comporte aussi les forts de La Conchée, du Petit Bé et le Fort National. Le fort a perdu toute vocation militaire et appartient désormais à des personnes privées. Il a appartenu un temps à l'acteur Alain Delon.
La paroisse de Saint-Mathieu, semble avoir été formée à la fin du XIIème siècle, par les ducs de Bretagne, pour desservir le quartier de la Terre-au-duc formée à l'Ouest de la ville close de Quimper. L'église est donnée en 1209 à l'Evêque de Quimper par Guy de Thouars, duc de Bretagne. En 1220, Renaud, évêque élu de Cornouaille, fait don au chapitre, de l'église de Saint-Mathieu ; un chanoine en demeura titulaire jusqu'à la Révolution. L'église de Saint-Mathieu est utilisée en 1803 comme magasin de fourrage et écurie.
Le mont Saint-Michel est un îlot rocheux granitique d’environ 960 mètres de circonférence situé à l’est de l’embouchure du fleuve du Couesnon, dans le département de la Manche en Normandie, et dont le nom vient de l'archange saint Michel. Avant l'année 709, il était connu comme le « mont Tombe ». Pendant tout le Moyen Âge, il est couramment appelé « mont Saint-Michel au péril de la mer » (Mons Sancti Michaeli in periculo mari). L'abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel est située sur le mont, et le mont constitue une petite partie du territoire de la commune du Mont-Saint-Michel (wikipedia).

Le bief et les fondations du Moulin du Grand Poulguin, datant au moins du XIIéme siècle, n’ont été baptisés qu’à la fin du XVIème, début du XVIIème siècle, alors qu’ils étaient propriété des seigneurs du Poulguin qui possédaient un château situé à Port Manech, sur la rive droite de l’Aven. Poul Guin vient de Poul Gwin, soit trou à vin : C’est le commerce du vin par cabotage qui était la ressource principale de ces seigneurs sous l’ancien régime. C’est donc ce commerce de vins qui a baptisé un ensemble de demeures, châteaux et moulins. C’est en 1833 que Sébastien Even achète le Moulin du Grand Poulguin à la Marquise des Nétunnières pour la coquette somme de 8000 francs. En 1920, il change de propriétaire. Emile Ligeour en fait l’acquisition et ce moulin va écraser le grain jusqu’en 1954.
