Parisian Writers from Aragon to Zola

An exhibition where literature and photography invite lovers of the French capital to take a stroll through the Paris of writers.
From Aragon to Zola, this literary primer takes visitors on a tour of the capital's neighborhoods, where writers lived their daily lives or fed their imaginations. From the cafés haunted by Paul Verlaine to the Halles in Émile Zola's Ventre de Paris, not forgetting the dark streets that follow Modiano…
Alongside this exhibition, street artist 13 bis will pay tribute to 100 years of Surrealism, by showing 7 original works.
