    protected $albumsRepository;

    public function __construct(AlbumsRepository $albumsRepository)

    {
        $this->albumsRepository = $albumsRepository;
    }
    public function show($n)
    {
        $album = $this->albumsRepository->getById($n);

        $files1 = File::allFiles(asset('images/albums/'.$album->titre));
        foreach ($files1 as $key => $value)
           {
              if (!in_array($value,array(".","..")))
              {
                 if (is_dir($dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $value))
                 {
                    $result[$value] = dirToArray($dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $value);
                 }
                 else
                 {
                    $result[] = $value;
                 }
              }
           } 
        return view('album')->with('album', $album);
    }
}

use RecursiveDirectoryIterator.

$directory = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(public_path('images/albums/'.$album->titre));
$iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($directory);
foreach ($iterator as $item) {
    // both file and directory will be iterated.
}

sorry for late answer but i'm in local, maybe it's change something because i have this now for directory : C:\wamp64\www\photo\public\images/albums/Ecosse. Maybe i need to replace \ by / ?

@MaximeBaude No need to replace manually, windows can recognize both '\' and '/' directory delimiter.

I access my public folder from controller by using url() function like:

url('uploads/images/user_image.png');
