This illustration by Lotza showcases the iconic Charente-Maritime plaice, a traditional fishing tool of the region. On this poster, we can see a plaice above the water, with a view of the La Rochelle lighthouse in the background. Charente-Maritime, located on the west coast of France, is a region rich in history and cultural heritage. It is a popular destination for nature and sea lovers, with over 450 kilometers of coastline, vast pine forests and numerous marshes. The plaice is an important element in the history of fishing in Charente-Maritime. These small fishing huts are built on stilts and are used to catch fish such as eels, sole and mullets. Fishermen use a square-shaped net that they lower and raise using a system of pulleys to capture fish. Beyond fishing, Charente-Maritime is also known for its local gastronomy, including fresh seafood, oysters and mussels. Visitors can enjoy many activities, such as visiting the famous fortifications of Vauban in Saint-Martin-de-Ré, discovering the beaches of the island of Oléron or visiting the picturesque villages of the region. This Lotza poster is a tribute to the rich heritage of Charente-Maritime, its maritime culture and the natural beauty of this region of France. Did you know that in the department, there are no less than 409 huts? What to take full eyes!
