This original poster by Lotza offers a delicate and authentic representation of the port of Saint-Martin de Ré, a historic jewel located in the heart of the Île de Ré, in the Charente-Maritime department. For several centuries, this city center port has played a major role in navigation and maritime trade, anchoring Saint-Martin de Ré as an essential stopover for sailors and travelers.

Over time, the city established itself not only as an important trading hub, but also as a strategic defensive point, notably thanks to the presence of Fort Vauban, a remarkable fortification listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This fort, a symbol of 17th-century military ingenuity, is a reminder of the region's importance in French military and maritime history.

Today, Saint-Martin-de-Ré captivates visitors and locals alike with its timeless charm. Its cobbled streets, traditionally designed houses, small shops, and welcoming restaurants exude a warm and friendly atmosphere. The town is also renowned for its fine sandy beaches, which attract many tourists each year in search of relaxation and unspoiled nature.

This illustration highlights the authentic beauty of the port with its colorful boats moored, floating gently on the water, and in the background, the historic buildings that tell the story of this maritime city. We feel through this work the soul of Saint-Martin de Ré, a harmonious balance between heritage, nature and local life.

Perfect for decorating a home or office, this poster is an invitation to dive into the unique world of the Île de Ré and to remember the cultural and historical richness of a town that continues to fascinate with its authenticity and its deep connection with the sea.
