This original poster by Lotza highlights the charming town of Saint-Pierre d'Oléron, an island gem on the Atlantic coast, famous for its colorful cabins that punctuate the harbor landscape. These brightly colored wooden houses, characteristic of the region, bring a warm and cheerful touch, testifying to the strong and authentic identity of this charming town.

The history of Saint-Pierre d'Oléron dates back to Antiquity, when the Romans discovered the island of Oléron and began to exploit its riches, particularly salt production, an activity that had a significant impact on local economic development. Over the centuries, the town developed around fishing, a traditional activity and pillar of local life, with a fleet of boats active in coastal fishing and the fish trade with neighboring regions and inland.

In the 19th century, the island of Oléron became a sought-after seaside destination for the region's bourgeois families, giving new impetus to Saint-Pierre d'Oléron. This renewed interest encouraged the construction of villas and second homes, strengthening the town's tourist appeal. Today, Saint-Pierre d'Oléron maintains a precious balance between preserving its heritage, authenticity, and welcoming visitors seeking a friendly atmosphere and escape.

This illustration by Lotza is more than just a visual representation: it pays homage to the natural beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture of Saint-Pierre d'Oléron.
