Les Mesnographies 2026: International Photo Festival Returns to Les Mesnuls

The 6th edition of Les Mesnographies, a free outdoor photography festival established by Claire Pathé, is set to take place in Les Mesnuls (Yvelines, France) from June 6 to July 19, 2026. The event will showcase the work of 22 artists representing 15 different nationalities, with a special focus titled "Je te crois," which addresses incest through the lens of seven photographers chosen via an open call. Additionally, eleven other pieces will delve into themes of memory, youth, joy, and suffering. Another focus, "Le jardin n'est pas clos," will tackle the climate crisis. Exhibitions will be held in the Parc des Mesnuls and nearby villages. The opening weekend on June 6–7 will feature a vernissage, concerts, children's workshops, a picnic, and photo sessions (€30 each), with free guided tours available by reservation.
