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.
