On October 22, 1849, Gustave Flaubert left the family home in Croisset for a trip to the Orient that would last more than a year and a half. This trip will be a decisive experience; it is while returning from the East, in 1851, that he decides to enter literature... His friend, Maxime Du Camp, led him on the route taken by Chateaubriand and Lamartine. If Maxime takes pictures of the pyramids with his camera, Gustave dreams and writes notes... The idea of this contest is therefore double: photographic and literary. Like Du Camp and Flaubert, the participants in pairs will be one photographer and the other writer, the objective being to find "hidden pyramids" in the landscape, and to tell your intrepid journey.
