:: THE HOUSE OF NICÉPHORE NIÉPCE (the inventor of photography) IN BURGUNDY





Studying at Spéos is also a very good opportunity to explore the rest of France!
In Burgundy, 350 km from Paris, the students of the professional photography programs have the unique possibility to visit the very place where the world’s first photo had been taken. In the House of Nicéphore Niépce, a museum was created at the initiative of Spéos, allowing them to discover the roots of their future profession.
