A photographer's tour

A unique introduction to Paris
One of the picture-taking stops

Visiting Singapore showed Claude Abron, photographer specializing in Paris, that choosing the best sites to photograph or the best angles for shots was impossible when visits were short.

That led him to create a tour of Paris for foreign colleagues, which he adapts to particular requests.

 

It works for all visitors.

    • Presents

     

    Claude gives visitors a CD-ROM of his own photos of the sites, views taken inside the edifices, from their windows, from helicoptors ...

     

    and takes pictures of travelers, which he emails as a way to remember the day.
