It is as long as the bluish buildings of the Lignon! A photography gallery has just taken up residence in the heart of this large complex. Objective: to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the start of work on the famous Verniolane city… classified as a historical monument.

And the least we can say is that the event does not go unnoticed… Conceived and imagined by Xavier Casile, boss of the company GOOD HEIDI Production, programmed over a distance of 1 kilometer, it should be the longest exhibition of outdoor photos in the world. No less than 365 portraits of inhabitants – for each day of the year – are, in fact, exhibited until April 24th.
