A photo exhibition about the working and living experience of elder generation Chinese revolutionaries in France was launched in Beijing on Wednesday (Mar 1).

Altogether 37 pictures are on show at an exhibition center in the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC). They remind the audience of senior Chinese revolutionists' study and work experience in Montargis, France, in the 1920s.

Illustrious Chinese Communists Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yi and Xiang Jingyu were among those who studied in Montargis, a city 100 km south of  Paris.

CPAFFC President Chen Haosu said he hopes the exhibition will promote public understanding about China's revolutionary history. He also hopes it will help enhance China-France exchanges in tourism, history and culture.
