Postcard Phare de la Coubre

Standing at the entrance of the Gironde estuary, the Phare de la Coubre proudly rises against the Atlantic, guiding sailors for over a century. Its slender architecture, marked by a striking red hue contrasting with the immaculate white of its base, makes it an unmissable landmark of the Charente coastline. Overlooking golden sand dunes, it watches over a landscape shaped by the winds and tides, offering an exceptional panorama of the ocean and the surrounding forest.

Built in 1905 to secure a maritime zone feared by sailors, the Phare de la Coubre bears witness to the turbulent history of navigation in this region. Its powerful beam, visible from more than 50 kilometers away, continues to ensure the safety of vessels sailing along the coast. Over the decades, it has become an iconic symbol of Charente-Maritime, attracting visitors and maritime history enthusiasts alike.

With an aesthetic inspired by Art Deco posters, Lotza captures in this postcard the timeless elegance of the lighthouse and the unique atmosphere of the Atlantic shores. The refined and dynamic composition highlights the strength and serenity of this structure standing against the elements. A graphic tribute to the wild beauty of the coast, where every detail evokes the importance of this luminous giant in France’s maritime heritage.
