Post tenebras lux is a Calvinist Latin inscription, found on the entablature of a cross-window, the only vestige of the former large residence that occupied this place and which means light after darkness. It is now a pretty open-air square used for photo exhibitions to showcase local heritage. Farmers' paths, know-how, fauna and flora... the themes allow creators to express their talent. And there is no shortage of them. Some stone benches make it almost a place for meditation.

Revive through this exhibition the great adventure of the Suez Canal. Documents, archives and photographs will reflect this defining chapter of our modern history, decisive in world trade and determining for the port of Marseille.

Nicolas Ughetto, a wilderness photographer based in Sault, offers us a unique look at the Ventoux through his photos. Accustomed to thinking like an animal, he patiently explores and observes nature. His photos, films and guided outings are his means of expression. The photos in his gallery trigger emotion and bear witness to local authenticity. Having been the subject of several television reports, Nicolas has also been honored at prestigious European photography festivals and has been published in the national press. In short, his gallery is well worth a visit.
