Argelès Photo Nature

Naturalist trip off the Mediterranean Sea
Did you know that off the very touristy coasts of the Mediterranean Sea lives a large pelagic fauna?
Whales and sperm whales, dolphins, turtles, seabirds, moonfish and basking sharks rub shoulders on the high seas, sometimes crossing the wake of a few pleasure boats and merchant ships. They are part of the “pelagos”, these nomadic beings living on the high seas.
Presented in 2015, the “Pelagos” exhibition is making a big comeback in the town of Argelès-sur-Mer, which had unveiled the project.

Argelès Photo Nature has asked several artists to depict insularity at its most fertile and unexpected.
A fusion of two previous exhibitions, “Islands…once upon a time” illustrates the variety and creative force of living things.
The islands are a thousand worlds without equal : animals and humans are here confused in the great adventure of biodiversity.

Argelès Photo Nature has always wanted to celebrate the beauty of our local nature.
A retrospective of “d’Aqui” exhibitions suggests that we discover or rediscover the most beautiful views of our environment.
