Tips

Vincent Reboul

In August 1826, Nicéphore Niépce, a 61-year-old Burgundian living in Saint-Loup-de-Varennes near Chalon-sur-Saône, tested one of these latest inventions and took the first photo in history. Daguerre will buy him or steal his patent, and that is why the first photos will be called daguerreotypes. The museum is very interesting to visit and relates the beginnings of photography to the present day.

Statue and nearby museum to Nicéphore Niépce (born Joseph Niépce; 7 March 1765 – 5 July 1833), a French inventor, now usually credited as the inventor of photography and a pioneer in that field. Niépce developed heliography, a technique he used to create the world's oldest surviving product of a photographic process: a print made from a photoengraved printing plate in 1825. In 1826 or 1827, he used a primitive camera to produce the oldest surviving photograph of a real-world scene. Among Niépce's other inventions was the Pyréolophore, the world's first internal combustion engine, which he conceived, created, and developed with his older brother Claude. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nic%C3%A9phore_Ni%C3%A9pce

Chalon is known as the birthplace of photography (heliography). The city's most famous citizen is Joseph Nicéphore Nièpce, for whose invention there is a museum on the Quay des Messageries containing more than 2 million photographs and many artifacts, cameras and other equipment from the history of photography.
