This original Lotza poster depicts the downtown port of Saint-Martin de Ré, a historic town located on the Ile de Ré, in the Charente-Maritime department of France. For centuries, Saint-Martin de Ré has been an important port for navigation and maritime trade. The city was also a strategic point for the defense of the region, with its famous Fort Vauban, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Over the centuries, Saint-Martin de Ré has become a popular tourist destination, known for its beautiful sandy beaches, its charming town center with its cobbled streets, restaurants and shops. The city also has a rich history, having been an important center of maritime trade during the golden age of sailing, and having been occupied several times throughout history, notably by the English and the Germans. This illustration perfectly represents the beauty and authenticity of Saint-Martin de Ré, with its colorful boats moored in the harbor and its historic buildings in the background. It's a great way to bring a touch of charm and history to your home or office, while having a souvenir of this magnificent and emblematic city of the region.
