Paris through a photographer's eye

Unique perceptions

Visiting Singapore showed Claude Abron, photographer specialized in Paris, that choosing the best sites to photograph or the best angles for the shots during a brief visit was impossible.

So he created a Parisian tour for foreign colleagues, which he adapts to particuler requests.

 

It works for all visitors.
