Jean-Luc Benazet
Created by a Cambridge photographer
I'm Jean-Luc Benazet. I have lived in Cambridge for more than 27 years and photographed the city in every season. These are real viewpoints I use, not generic landmark pins.
The photograph on each card shows what you should see when you reach the pin. Use the directions button for a walking route, then match the framing or make it your own.
