A shared photo library

We all have the same problem when it comes to communication: quality visuals! So every year, the tourist office expands its photo library in partnership with professional photographers: Borre Zimmermann, Raphael Pellet, Séverine Baur… Heritage, rivers, nature, gastronomy,… so many subjects to put into images in all seasons.

In order to let you enjoy some of these professional shots, we have created a shared photo library. Why shared? Well, because we open this image bank to our partners, but also because we invite you, too, to import your photos so that other actors can enjoy them.

It's the same logic if you are a restaurateur, producer, craftsman... you can promote your activities via the visuals that you make available to the destination's prescribers.

How to proceed ?

Image rights, copyright, credit, format, etc., it was necessary to set a framework to allow everyone to find their way around (photographers, models, users, etc.). So we decided to write a charter for the use of these photos and the shared photo library in general.

So to put it simply, to access the shared photo library you just need to:

• Be a partner
• Download the Shared Photo Library Usage Charter
• Read it, sign it and return it to Celia
• From there, we will send you a personal link that will allow you to access the shared photo library
• You can then download or import photos and use them on your media: website, social networks, etc.
• Finally, you must scrupulously respect the charter that was signed! This is essential for the proper functioning of this tool.
