Your experience

A cinematic journey in the company of a feminist artist, free and whimsical.

Immediately recognizable with her two-tone hairstyle, free speech and warm voice, Agnès Varda was a feminist pioneer in the 1950s and it is in modern granny, whimsical and always inspired that she left us at 90 years old.

Through the streets of Montparnasse, we will cross the locations where his films were shot, notably "Cléo de 5 à 7". A resident of the neighborhood for more than 60 years, Agnès Varda liked to say that by understanding people, we understood places better, and by understanding places, we understood people better.
