The show takes visitors through a sometimes funny, romantic or epic visual journey: France as discovered by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Italy as immortalized by Bruno Barbey, Greece as illustrated by Constantine Manos and England as seen by Martin Parr, all bring together a varied vision of a deeply European painting.

The selection of images is extracted from series published in world famous books: Les Europeens by Cartier Bresson (1955), bad Weather by Martin Parr (1982), a greek portfolio by Costa Manos (1999) and Les Italiens by Bruno Barbey (2002).
