This poster, illustrated by Lotza, celebrates the sunny elegance of Nice, the iconic jewel of the French Riviera. Exquisitely created on Illustrator and carefully printed in Charente, it captures the unique atmosphere of this city nestled between the sea and the hills, bathed in light and culture.
Nice, perched on the shimmering shores of the Mediterranean, is renowned for its mild year-round climate, pastel-toned facades, palm trees lining the Promenade des Anglais, and typically Mediterranean way of life. It is one of the oldest cities in the region: founded by the Greeks around 350 BC under the name Nikaia, it has endured through the centuries under Roman, Provençal, Savoyard, Italian, and then French rule—a rich past whose architecture, traditions, and language still bear the traces.
The illustration captures the city's luminous panorama: a string of ochre rooftops, flower-filled balconies, bustling alleyways, and of course, the deep blue sea as a backdrop. It's a poetic yet stylized evocation of the city of Nice, evoking strolls through Old Nice, the markets of Cours Saleya, the scent of socca, and sunsets over the Baie des Anges.
This poster doesn't just depict a place: it conveys an atmosphere, a memory, a summer dream suspended in time. It appeals to anyone who loves the Mediterranean, picturesque architecture, the gentleness of the south, or simply those who have a personal connection to Nice.
Hung in a living room, entryway, or office, it instantly brings a touch of southern charm, a breath of travel and escape. It's also a beautiful tribute to the history, culture, and aesthetics of this legendary city. Whether you're a lover of the Côte d'Azur or looking for inspiration for your next getaway, this work by Lotza is a window onto one of the most beautiful cities in France.
