The Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson occupies a former industrial space on rue des Archives, marked by a stark, glass-fronted entrance that creates a quiet threshold between the street and the gallery. Henri Cartier-Bresson founded this institution with his wife, Martine Franck, to preserve his vast archive of photographs. Before his death, he spent months personally selecting his best work, trying to distill decades of capturing what he called the decisive moment into a collection that would define his legacy for future generations.
