Thirty specialized professional exhibitors

Around thirty professional exhibitors set up in the Salle Polinière to offer a wide range of equipment: analog cameras from all eras, digital bodies, lenses, film shooting equipment, projectors, specialized books and magazines, prints, and various accessories. Amateurs and collectors alike can find rare items and equipment at attractive prices.

An event accessible to all

Admission is completely free, allowing all curious visitors to discover the world of photography and cinema through the decades. The fair is accessible to people with reduced mobility and has a refreshment stand. Exchanges between enthusiasts are at the heart of the event, with each stand run by specialists capable of advising beginners and seasoned collectors alike.

Vire Normandie, land of bocage

Vire Normandie, a new municipality in Calvados created in 2016, is the beating heart of the Virois bocage. Renowned for its andouille and its green landscapes, the town has a rich architectural heritage with its Clock Tower, its medieval streets, and its deep valleys. The photo equipment fair is part of the broader Mois de la Photo, which offers exhibitions and events centered around images throughout March.
