Provence intimate: photo, dance, music and song
In August 2024, the show Provence intime brought together international artists. These two unique performances allowed over 200 spectators to immerse themselves in the world of André Abbe's archives.
Here are some memories in pictures. Thanks to American volunteer Julian Shelton for coming to immortalize these evenings.
Children of Brazil
André Abbe took up photography to finance his travels. Brazil remains high on his list of favorite countries.

A passion for travel, as here in Turkey
In 1967, André had not yet launched his career as a photographer. But he already had a taste for travel. And he hitchhiked a lot. Which pushed him to the top. This photo is exceptional from several points of view. This push-up is in fact a fake: we added it as a joke!
