I will be in Paris the two first weeks of Paris. Last time I was there Gorbi was still in office and I used something called film... Can anyone recommend galleries, museums etc. related to photography worth visiting?

I am aware of the "Henri Cartier-Bresson 12/02/2014 - 09/06/2014 at
Centre Pompidou, Paris" exhibition - but so far that is all.

All input much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Some favourites of mine

Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson 2 Impasse Lebouis, 75014 Paris, France
Maison Européenne de la photographie 5-7 Rue de Fourcy, 75004 Paris, France
Galerie nationale du Jeu de paume 1 Place de la Concorde, 75008 Paris, France
Magnum gallery 13 RUE DE L'ABBAYE 75006 PARIS
Musée du Quai Branly 37 Quai Branly, 75007 Paris, France
Maison de l'Amérique Latine 217 Boulevard Saint-Germain, 75007 Paris, France


Note that the last two are not dedicated photographic venues, but they have occasional stuff going on. The biennale du Quai Branly, or photoquai is a biannual photo event, I think the last one was last year so there might not be anything this year. But as always in Paris there are endless small galleries here and there. Sometimes there are big prints hung on the fence around the Jardin du Luxembourg.

This link lists some interesting photo bookstores around the world, many in Paris on there. I personally haven't visited any from that list.

Highly recommended specialized photography book store. One of the (very) few hold-outs.
