Postcard La Rochelle – Phare du Bout du Monde

This postcard pays tribute to the Lighthouse at the End of the World, an unusual and poetic structure that seems to float on the ocean, facing La Rochelle. Inspired by an iconic lighthouse in Patagonia, this replica was inaugurated in 2000 thanks to the initiative of the navigator Philippe Jeantot and the support of the city. Built on stilts off the coast of Les Minimes, the lighthouse is not accessible to the public, which enhances its mystery and imaginative power. It silently watches over the entrance to the harbor, like a discreet landmark full of meaning for sea lovers.

Lotza has chosen to depict it alone, surrounded by a lively, almost turbulent sea, under a golden light that evokes either dawn or dusk. This particular atmosphere invites contemplation and escape. In this composition, there are no artifices: only a structure of wood and metal that defies the elements, and a sense of infinity. The artist offers us here a peaceful yet powerful vision, a testament to the intimate bond between La Rochelle and distant horizons. The Lighthouse at the End of the World not only guides ships, but reminds everyone that borders are merely starting points.
