This unprecedented retrospective invites you to discover the singular vision of photographer Madeleine de Sinéty (1934?2011), presented at Château de Tours in 2025, then in Paris in 2026.
Trained at the Arts Décoratifs in Paris in the late 1950s, she left the capital between 1972 and 1981 to settle in the small Breton village of Poilley, where she stayed many times until the 1990s. Madeleine de Sinéty photographed the lives of its inhabitants in both black and white and color. Afterwards, she made slide projections to give the images back to the residents. From the 1980s onwards, she moved to the United States, first to California, then to Maine, and continued to photograph.
