Poster La Rochelle – Vieux Port

This poster pays tribute to the Vieux Port de La Rochelle, an iconic place steeped in history and deeply rooted in the identity of this Atlantic coastal city. Since the Middle Ages, the port has been the beating heart of La Rochelle, serving as a strategic hub for maritime trade, particularly with the West Indies and Canada. Lined with lively quays, arcaded houses, and bustling cafés, the port still draws both visitors and locals today, charmed by its unique character and welcoming atmosphere.

In this composition, Lotza chooses to depict the red and white lighthouse, the colorful market halls, and the large Ferris wheel that marks the rhythm of the tourist seasons—familiar visual landmarks for those who know La Rochelle. Through this bright and peaceful view, the artist captures the balance between heritage and modern life, between the weight of history and the gentleness of daily moments. The Vieux Port de La Rochelle is not just a setting—it is living memory, bearing witness to distant departures as well as simple reunions at the market or during a quiet evening stroll.

With this work, Lotza offers an immersion into the maritime soul of the city, without embellishment, from a human perspective. A tranquil scene, almost silent, where the eye can rest and remember. Whether you’re from here or elsewhere, this landscape evokes the call of the ocean, the warmth of Rochelais hospitality, and the quiet beauty of old harbors still full of life.
