This captivating poster takes us back to early 20th century Noirmoutier, where excursions to the islands of the Atlantic Ocean awaited adventurous souls. But our voyage doesn't stop there; it leads us further into history with notable figures like Wildman Whitehouse, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and Cromwell Fleetwood Varley. These visionaries played pivotal roles in shaping maritime exploration and engineering feats that connected continents across this vast ocean. As we traverse from one side of South America to another, Paul Marcoy's drawings come alive, illustrating his epic journey from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. We witness breathtaking milestones along a road in pampa and savor delectable apprets at Aguas Calientes' post office dinner. Marveling at cultural treasures encountered during Marcoy's expedition, we encounter an Indian Mummy Aymara in Bolivia—a testament to ancient civilizations that thrived near these shores. The interior of a chulpa stands tall as a prehispanic funeral monument in Andes—an architectural marvel preserving ancestral legacies. Immerse yourself in local customs at an urban cabaret (chicharas or chicharias), where you can taste Andean drink Chicha—a unique blend fermented with maize, peanuts, and fruits. Plaza Mayor and Cathedrale of Arequipa beckon us with their grandeur—testimonies to colonial influences dotting our path towards the Pacific. Finally, let's not forget Royan's Great Coast—a picturesque destination offering stunning vistas where land meets sea. With each step taken along this incredible journey through time and diverse landscapes surrounding Ocean Atlantique, one thing becomes clear—the allure of this vast ocean knows no bounds.
