From November 3rd to 30th, 2025, the 6th edition of Photo Days invites art lovers and curious to explore the contemporary photography scene through 88 exhibitions across Paris and the surrounding region. Since 2020, galleries, institutions, foundations, museums, fairs, and festivals have joined forces to offer a rich, open, and vibrant itinerary at the heart of today’s creative landscape.
On the program: 100 artists, 120 guided tours, exhibition openings, and carte blanche commissions given to talented photographers.
Above all, Photo Days aims to reveal exceptional venues through new, site-specific projects created by lesser-known as well as internationally renowned artists.
Not to be missed this year: six new exhibitions in venues as unusual as they are emblematic. Alongside the festival’s now-classic sites—Sorbonne Artgallery and the Rotonde Balzac at the Fondation des Artistes—Photo Days is taking over new spaces: the Louxor cinema, Studio Harcourt, the Chapelle Saint‑Louis at the Pitié‑Salpêtrière hospital, and L’École des Arts Joailliers.
