The Photo Exhibition

Take the time to discover the photo exhibition "La Terre vue du ciel" by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. With "La Terre vue du ciel" Yann Arthus-Bertrand invites us to a journey through the realities of the world. His aerial photographs reflect the variety of natural environments and expressions of life, but also man’s footprint on the environment. This work shows the state of the planet at the beginning of the millennium.
