I particularly enjoyed the pictures of you trying to get a tune out of two concertinas at the same time :lol:

And, having attended the French conference last year, I can't help but notice that food and drink seem to be, at least equally, if not more, important than the business of fondling each others cameras :wink:

I also notice that you engaged in a spot of mountaineering practice, but I have to tell you that a small step-ladder would be nowhere near adventurous enough for our good friend Charles Twist. See this shot of him perched over the deep end of an empty swimming pool.

Well, Lyons and surroundings where Vienne is located area is supposed to be the capital of French gastronomy. So the organisers there have to meet the visitor's expectations ;-)

Somebody installed this step-ladder; the consequance was that I was lazy enough to use it instead of raising the Rolleiflex TLR, hands-up, and the camera upside-down like reporters did routinely in the good old days !

Now to come back to serious issues, there were many superb images to see.
Including J.C. Mougin's palladium prints and some stereo pairs in 4x5 (ooops : sorry : 5x4 is denomination in Britain) colour slides by the Swiss gang !
