In The Mood For Love

What better way to put you in the mood for love than by spending an afternoon with your future H2B or girlfriends in the magnificent City Hall (Hôtel de Ville) of Paris, admiring the beautiful photo exhibition by professional photographer Gérard Uféras.

For the past 2 years, Gérard Uféras has captured some of the happiest moments in the lives of over 70 couples each getting married in Paris. Immerse yourself in the sheer joy and spontaneous enthusiasm these photos portray. From the preparations of the bride through to the civil or religious ceremony, not forgetting dinner and dancing, you will discover a diverse collection of photos of different generations, mixed social backgrounds, diverse cultures and religions in a reportage photography style.

Paris d’Amour is a free exhibition currently being showcased at the Hôtel de Ville de Paris. Showing until 31 July 2010, the exhibition is open every day except Sundays and bank holidays from 10am to 7pm. For more information, click here.
