This selection of photographs on subjects illustrated by André Papillon [1910, Bordeaux 1986, Paris] throughout his career offers us a sometimes empathetic, sometimes nostalgic look at the lives of the men and women of his time. The trades and atmospheres of Parisian streets, the suburbs, social movements, work in the fields, industry and advertising, but also light-hearted subjects such as music, dancing and vacations in Deauville.
