Photo walks in Paris

A hidden corner of Paris, a theme, and people to wander it with.

We pick a corner of Paris you probably haven’t seen and wander it with a theme to shoot. Walking partners rotate along the way, and it ends at a terrace with drinks and a vote for the best photo.

The Format

What to expect

  1. Step 1

    Meet and warm up

    We gather at the meeting point, do a quick round of names, and hear the theme and the route.

  2. Step 2

    Walk, shoot, swap

    Solo shooting mixed with small group challenges, and you swap walking partners along the way. The photos people take say a lot about them, which is half the fun.

  3. Step 3

    Drinks and the vote

    We finish at a café terrace. Everyone puts up their best shot, the room votes, and the winner takes a secret prize.

Questions

Photo Walks FAQ

Do I need a real camera?
No, most people shoot on their phones. The walk is about looking at the city and talking to people, and the photos are the excuse.
What if my photos are bad?
Nobody’s judging. The vote at the end is for fun, and the worst photo usually gets the biggest laugh.
Where do we meet?
The meeting point is on each event page, usually a café or a metro exit near the route.
Can I come alone?
Most people do. Partners rotate during the walk, so you’ll have talked to nearly everyone by the end.
