The house where Nicéphore Niépce invented photography in Saint-Loup-de-Varennes.

Born in 1765 in downtown Chalon, Nicéphore Niépce invented photography (more precisely, heliography, as it was then called) in Saint-Loup-de-Varennes, in the summer of 1827, at his family's country house. The first photograph in history, entitled "Le point de vue du gras", taken through one of the windows of this house, is not on display here, but the workshop in which it was taken has been reconstructed. The passionate inventor is buried in the village cemetery.

Un musée qui sort de l'ordinaire, on ne regrette pas de s'être arrêté. Nous avons aimé pouvoir utiliser la draisienne. Tout ce qui est exposé est concret, varié et il y a des pièces exceptionnelles comme les lettres de Nicéphore Nièpce à son frère.

Je n'avais pas pris connaissance de ces messages mais je réponds même tardivement parce que si cette personne a été choquée nous, nous ne l'avons pas été moins. je tiens à vous dire que la personne qui nous a accueillie n'était pas malade du tout ou alors ce n'est pas le guide dont vous parlez qui était sur place car le jeune monsieur que nous avons vu était en parfait santé attablée avec des amis en train de se rafraîchir et de rire et compte tenu de l'heure, il n'avait pas envie de faire visiter quoique ce soit ! Je ne vois pas l'intérêt que nous aurions à donner un avis et à inventer une histoire surtout que nous nous faisions une joie nous aussi de visiter ce musée et nous sommes 4 personnes à pouvoir en témoigner !

Hello, the owner of the Saint-Loup de Varennes guesthouse or you were us indeed contacted on this subject. The guide was perhaps mall explained, but it sick and was closed prematurely house a friend whom he asked assistance.
Shocked by your reaction, it has us immediately at the guesthouse sent the layout of the hospital in request for analysis blood, the quality of pharmacy with antibiotic regulations... the pages of the visitors' book thanking it warmly will be on line as every year http://www.photography-museums.com/videos/livre_or/index.html after the Heritage Days 2012.
