Visiting the Rencontres d'Arles Photography Festival. The large international photography festival known as Les Rencontres d'Arles happens every summer; the next one is July 7 to Oct 5, In addition to photo exhibits in venues all over the city and beyond most of which run for the duration of the fest , there will be panel discussions, evening talks, slide shows, workshops and pop ups mostly during the first week..
For visitors who want to partake, it can all be a bit daunting: how to get tickets, which are the best shows, how to map out the day, etc. But fear not, photo lover! I've lined up a few great local guides who know all the ins and outs, who are eager to help you and host you! On whatever day s you choose to come to Arles, your guide will meet you in an easy to find location, go over the exhibit schedule with you, help you get tickets to the shows you most want to see, alert you to any special events Please note your guide won't be touring you through the actual exhibits themselves unless he or she has already seen the show with the curator or artist sometimes this happens during the first week of the Rencontres.
What he or she will do is take care of everything else so you can focus on the photos If you prefer not to get yourself to Arles, the guide can also provide transport from wherever you're staying within reason! This is a flat rate for up to four people; lunch and festival tickets are extra.
