This passionate photographer, renowned for his artistic sensitivity and technical mastery, invites you on a one-day photographic immersion in a setting blending heritage, landscapes, and daily life.

Between a detailed look at its iconic monuments and striking snapshots of scenes from local life, a visit to this city becomes a unique sensory experience, revealed by a photographic approach imbued with poetry and authenticity.
In front of the lens, Arnaud Lancelevée stands out for a career that blends passion and rigor, built over years of experience and exploration. Coming from a background where visual art thrives on keen observation, he quickly specialized in landscape and street photography, seeking to capture the spirit of a place rather than its mere contours. His career is distinguished by a constant quest for meaning, where each shot becomes a time capsule, a vision of the world somewhere between realism and the picturesque. The city of Montélimar, with its welcoming alleyways, colorful facades, and authentic scenes of life, is one of his favorite playgrounds. His work consists not only of immortalizing, but of revealing, of paying homage to the richness of a place that, behind its familiar appearance, often hides an unsuspected depth. Year
