Postcard from Saint-Martin-de-Ré – Illustration of the port by Lotza
Discover the poetry of the port of Saint-Martin-de-Ré through this original illustration by Lotza. This artistic postcard showcases one of the jewels of the Île de Ré: its historic port, the beating heart of the city and anchor of its rich maritime past.
Located in Charente-Maritime, on France's Atlantic coast, the town of Saint-Martin-de-Ré is known for its remarkable architectural heritage, lively quays, and its famous Fort Vauban, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This impressive fort, designed in the 17th century to protect the island, still bears witness to the port's strategic importance in French history.
Lotza's illustration captures the essence of this iconic location, with pleasure boats floating peacefully on the calm waters of the harbor, surrounded by pastel-shuttered facades and cobbled streets lined with the island's typical white houses. All bathed in a soft light that evokes the long summer days on the island.
Saint-Martin-de-Ré is not only a picturesque port: it is also a popular destination for its fine sandy beaches, local market, refined gastronomy, and peaceful atmosphere. Every year, it attracts visitors in search of authenticity, heritage, and nature.
This postcard, carefully printed in Charente, is much more than a souvenir: it's an elegant evocation of the Rétais art of living. Whether it's to enrich your collection, decorate a home, or offer a refined gift, this illustrated work by Lotza is an invitation to travel and contemplation.
