Michel Tournier and Lucien Clergue on the Rencontres photographiques d'Arles

Interview in Arles with the writer Michel TOURNIER, author of the "King of alders", winner of the Prize of the French Academy on the reasons for his choice of the city of Arles as a resort, an evil and dark city with its small winding streets, discovered thanks to his friend the photographer Lucien CLERGUE . The writer, who also loves photographs, explains how the city of Arles has become the capital of photography thanks to Lucien CLERGUE and Jean Maurice ROUQUETTE, founders of the Rencontres d'Arles photography festival, which Michel TOURNIER animates and chairs. Lucien CLERGUE then evokes what the presence of the writer Michel TOURNIER brings to the Rencontres d'Arles, "he knows very well talk about photography and photographers" as a man of pen.
