Unique location hidden from the Parisian touristic mess. Just next to the heart of Le Marais, the foundation makes temporal expositions of young and consolidated photographers across its 2 floors + the space dedicated to the Cartier-Bresson photo archive. I do recommend it and also visiting the shop just in the entrance of the atrium!

Small exquisite museum of photography in the Marais showing original HCB and many contemporary photographs - worth a detour

A nice place to visit and see photographs, however I was very disappointed that it didn't showcase more of Bresson's work. There were only about five of his photographs, including his most famous ones. The exhibition at the time was good but I expected to see more of Bresson's work.

Great space hosting 1-2 exhibitions at a time. And for anyone who is a photographer or appreciates photography it is a must to visit the foundation of the father of the "decisive moment" and one of the greatest photographers.
