VAL FLEURY
From September 1st to 27th, 2026

Open windows, collapsed floors, ivy-covered walls: the photographers of Vieilles Pierres explore the fragile beauty of forgotten places.

A window rattles in the wind, a floor gives way, broken glass crunches underfoot. The Vieilles Pierres collective tracks down these buildings swallowed by vegetation, these places where time has stood still and where only birds disturb the silence, where nature has reclaimed its rights. Its photographers restore the splendor of a little-known heritage, hidden right near us, and salute those who fight to save it from ruin. Val Fleury welcomes you on this journey through forgotten places, punctuated by storytelling tours and workshops for budding explorers.
