La Gare Robert DoisneauThis out of the ordinary place is spread out over three floors, where design and authenticy coincide.
La Gare Robert Doisneau is made up of 2 galleries, that are unique in France! It is actually the only place where there is a permanent exhibition dedicated to the famous photographer : Robert Doisneau.
On the ground floor, you will find photographs of Robert Doisneau on holiday in the Dordogne and in the Lot, at the beginning of the Second World War in August 1939. Some of the photographs he took are of very well known landscapes in the area, his family holidays, canoeing trips… Some timeless photographs also show an unchanged Dordogne.
