L'Atelier de Charles
On the edge of Metz, in Moulins-lès-Metz, L'Atelier de Charles is a versatile venue that defies labels. It houses an equipped photo studio, an event and meeting space, and a training centre for image professions. Depending on the moment, the place may also host exhibitions. An address to know around photography rather than a museum to visit: it's best to find out what's on before you come.
A versatile place around the image
L'Atelier de Charles brings several uses together under one roof: an equipped photo studio, an event and meeting space, a lounge area. This versatility makes it a working and events venue more than a gallery in the strict sense, even if exhibitions can be shown there. That flexibility defines the place: an image space put to use according to projects, from photo shoots to receptions.
Rooted in photography training
The venue is historically tied to professional training in photography and image professions. This vocation gives the whole its coherence: the equipped studio serves learning as much as shooting, and the atmosphere is that of a professionals' workshop. For the visitor, the place is best enjoyed on the occasion of an event, an exhibition or a dedicated session: check the calendar in advance.
