The Association des Amis de la MEP (AMEP) supports the influence of the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP), enriching its collections and accompanying photography in all its forms. Headed by Simon Baker since 2018, the MEP saw Jacques Bungert become president in 2024. In 2024, AMEP organized over 26 visits for its members, to institutions, workshops, galleries and vernissages.

Photo Saint Germain is an annual festival dedicated to photography, held every November in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, alongside Paris Photo. Directed by Aurélia Marcadier, it highlights emerging artists and historical figures through a series of exhibitions in museums, galleries, cultural centers and bookshops on the Left Bank. Supported by numerous partners, the festival brings together professionals, collectors and amateurs around a rich program, anchored in an emblematic district of Paris.

The Fondation Dina Vierny – Musée Maillol, recognized as a public utility, was founded in 1995 by Dina Vierny, Aristide Maillol’s muse. This private museum, located in the heart of Paris, houses the world’s largest collection of works by Maillol, as well as modern art from Vierny’s personal collection. The exhibition Robert Doisneau. Instants Donnés marks the photographer’s return to Paris, with some 400 images on display until October 12, 2025.
